Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Anterior Prostate Cancer
- Minimally invasive treatments for localized prostate cancer have become prominent options in recent years.
- The increasing use of MITs is attributed to their capability to protect surrounding normal prostate areas and essential components like the urethral sphincter.
- Techniques such as brachytherapy, cryoablation, and HIFU are widely used, while newer methods focus on maintaining urinary continence.
- Over the last five years, 114 articles addressed MITs for prostate cancer, with 36 specifically discussing urinary outcomes related to these treatments.
- MITs show promising functional preservation without compromising cancer control, suggesting a growing role in prostate cancer management despite limited data.

Epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of anterior prostate cancer
Anterior prostate cancers (APCs) are a group of impalpable neoplasms located in regions anterior to the urethra, which comprise the transition zone, apical peripheral zone and anterior fibromuscular stroma. These regions are typically undersampled using conventional biopsy schemes, leading to a low detection rate for APC and a high rate of false negatives. Radical prostatectomy series suggest prevalence rates of at least 10–30%, but transperinea…
Diet can influence the risk of developing prostate cancer by up to 15 percent, according to Samara Palma, an endocrinologist specializing in clinical nutrition at La Paz University Hospital, during the presentation of the "You are…" campaign.
On the occasion of World Prostate Cancer Day, celebrated every June 11, Policlínica Gipuzkoa wants to highlight the progress made in the early diagnosis and treatment of this type of cancer, the most common among men in our environment. Currently, it is estimated that more than 33,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, making it the most prevalent tumor among men.
The aim is to encourage medical checks and early diagnosis of this disease, which is considered the most common among men worldwide.
Luis Elmer Padilla Espinoza contacted the RPP Rotaphone to ask for help because he needs an echo prostatic biopsy at the Guillermo Almenara National Hospital in EsSalud, located in the Lima district of La Victoria. Since 2021, he has received treatment with the specialty of Urology in the Policlinic Ramón Castilla, where he was checked because his father died of prostate cancer. However, last year, they observed that the levels of specific prost…
Urinary Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Treatments for Prostate Cancer-A Systematic Review by Young Academic Urologists' Urotechnology Working Group
Abstract Introduction: Minimally invasive treatments (MITs) have emerged as viable treatment options for carefully selected patients with localized disease. Their major advantage is that MITs enable the preservation of nearby healthy prostate tissue and critical structures such as the urethral sphincter and neurovascular bundles without compromising oncologic outcomes. The aim of the current review is to describe the impact of different MITs for…
