Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and one of the main causes of death from malignancies of the urogenital system. However, early diagnosis and progression of therapeutic techniques have turned the disease into manageable and even curable, as it is diagnosed in the early stages.
Most patients are diagnosed thanks to PSA preventive control (special prostate antigen) and fingerprint, while confirmation is done with fusion biopsy. Depending on the degree of malignancy and the extent of the tumor, the appropriate treatment strategy is selected.
Revolutionary Approach: Echolaser Technology
Echolaser technology brings a new minimally invasive approach to tackle prostate cancer. It is a thermal ablation, which eliminates scalpel -free cancer cells, without amputation of the organ and with complete precision, while maintaining the functionality of the prostate.
Treatment is performed under ultrasound guidance, through very thin laser fiber optic, safely placed in the cancerous nod. The procedure begins with preoperative screening in the surgical room, using the sophisticated fusion system. This system combines images of the patient’s polyparametric magnetic resonance imaging with real -time ultrasound imaging. Thus, the surgeon has a three -dimensional depiction of the lesion on the Echolaser screen, which allows him to highly accurately guide the laser fiber at the point of damage.
Subsequently, through thermocoupleism, cancer tissue is destroyed, without affecting the structure and function of the prostate or adjacent neurgenal bundles. The thermal energy released causes accurate and controlled tumor necrosis, keeping the adjacent tissues intact, which is extremely important for maintaining the erection, temperance and quality of life of the patient.
Advantages of echolaser method
The Echolaser method brings multiple benefits for the patient, combining efficiency with functional maintenance:
- Minimally invasive & targeted, without incisions, with local anesthesia or slight drunkenness.
- Nursing just 3 hours, return home on the same day
- Avoidance of incontinence
- Conservation of erectile function, no vascular bundles are injured
- Conservation of ejaculation, preserved normal sexual functioning
- Suitable for elderly or patients of high surgical risk
Who is the method addressed to?
Echolaser technique is suitable for:
- Men with localized prostate cancer (T1C – T2A)
- Patients with low or medium Gleason score
- Cases where the tumor is single -stricken and confirmed by biopsy
- Patients wishing to maintain sexual and urological function
- Those who want an alternative to radical prostatectomy or radiation
Echolaser is an important step towards a new philosophy in the treatment of prostate cancer: no more generalized treatment at high costs for functionality, but focused, personalized intervention aimed at tumor treatment, without sacrificing the patient’s quality of life.
Writes Kyriakos BrembosUrologist, director Urological clinic Mental
Echolaser therapy for focused treatment of prostate cancer is applied to Greece, Psychic Medicine, by Dr. Brebo and his specialized team.
Dr. Brembos It was the first in the world to apply Echolaser technology by placing radiodic markers, distinct in magnetic resonance imaging, which enhance the precision of the targeting of cancerous damage and improve the effectiveness of treatment.
It is worth noting that the Psychic Medical Clinic functions as a recognized Echolaser method of application and training, attracting doctors from Greece and abroad.
