About PROSTATE Cancer
Connecting you with India’s leading specialists in these medical fields
Prostate cancer is a disease where cells in the prostate gland (a small gland in men that makes semen) grow uncontrollably.
- Prostate cancer (localized or metastatic)
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostatitis
- PSA elevation with or without symptoms
- Surgical options: TURP, Radical Prostatectomy, Laser therapy
Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the prostate gland using a robotic system (like da Vinci), offering greater precision and faster recovery for prostate cancer patients.
- Minimally invasive – smaller cuts, less blood loss.
- Faster recovery – shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal life.
- Better precision – reduces risk of nerve damage, preserving bladder and sexual function.
- Higher cost – due to advanced robotic equipment.
- Not suitable for all patients – especially those with advanced or complex cancers.
- Requires highly skilled surgeons – outcomes depend on experience.
- USD: $6,000 to $12,000
- Kenya Shillings (KES): Approx. KES 800,000 to 1,600,000
Cost varies depending on hospital, surgeon experience, and pre/post-op requirements.
Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of X-rays to precisely target and destroy cancer cells, sparing healthy tissues.
- High precision – minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Fewer side effects – especially beneficial for tumors near critical organs.
- Ideal for children – reduces risk of long-term growth/development issues.
- Very expensive – higher cost than conventional radiation.
- Limited availability – only a few centers in India offer it.
- Not always necessary – conventional therapy may be equally effective for many cancers.
- USD: $25,000 to $40,000
- Kenya Shillings (KES): Approx. KES 3.3 million to 5.3 million
Cost varies by cancer type, number of sessions, and hospital.
HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to generate heat and destroy targeted tissue, such as prostate cancer cells, without cutting the skin.
- Non-surgical – no incisions, no blood loss.
- Quick recovery – usually done as an outpatient procedure.
- Low risk of complications – reduced risk of incontinence or erectile dysfunction compared to traditional surgery.
- Not suitable for all cases – mainly used for localized tumors.
- Limited long-term data – newer treatment with less long-term evidence.
- May need retreatment – cancer may return, requiring follow-up procedures.
- USD: $5,000 to $10,000
- Kenya Shillings (KES): Approx. KES 670,000 to 1.34 million
Cost depends on hospital, doctor expertise, and pre-treatment evaluations.
