Prostate Cancer: Active Surveillance and Robotic Prostatectomy
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, often without early symptoms. For localized disease, options include active surveillance (careful monitoring for low-risk cases) or robotic prostatectomy (minimally invasive surgical removal of the gland). A healthy lifestyle can support overall well-being.
