At Florida Hospital, we understand that conducting research for prostate cancer information is an important part of the process. We commend you for learning all you can about surgery options, advanced or alternative treatment, radiation therapy, and more.

We are also thankful for the opportunity to present a minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment option that offers improved cancer management with post-operative function.

Prostate Cancer Treatment – Consider the Options

The suitability of prostate cancer treatment options must be based on a number of factors, including:

  • Stage of prostate cancer
  • Current state of health and age
  • Personal preferences
  • Side effects of the different treatment options

Prostatectomy is the most common prostate cancer treatment for early-stage localized cancer in the United States today. Florida Hospital is proud to offer the most advanced form of prostate cancer surgery practiced today – robotic prostatectomy. The da Vinci® prostatectomy offers tremendous benefits over traditional surgical procedures (open or laparoscopic).
