Prostate Cancer : About

One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Nationally, that means more than 200,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year. When prostate cancer is diagnosed early, new advanced therapies allow patients a more rapid return to normal activity and a better quality of life after treatment. Ochsner currently offers three approaches to radical prostatectomy, including open, Laparoscopic and Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic (da Vinci® Prostatectomy).
