China's leading urological centers offer the full spectrum of prostate cancer treatment including active surveillance, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), brachytherapy, external beam radiation (IMRT/SBRT), and hormone therapy. Da Vinci robotic surgery systems enable nerve-sparing techniques that preserve continence and potency. Comprehensive treatment costs 60-75% less than in the US with comparable oncological outcomes.
Multiparametric MRI & Biopsy
mpMRI followed by targeted fusion biopsy determines Gleason score, stage, and risk category
Duration: 2-3 daysTreatment Selection
Multidisciplinary team recommends surgery, radiation, or surveillance based on risk stratification
Duration: 1-2 daysPrimary Treatment
Robotic radical prostatectomy with nerve-sparing, or precision radiation (IMRT/brachytherapy)
Duration: 2-4 hours surgery or 5-8 weeks radiationPost-treatment Monitoring
PSA surveillance, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and hormone therapy if indicated
Duration: Lifelong monitoring- Robotic nerve-sparing surgery preserves urinary and sexual function
- Multiple treatment options tailored to disease risk level
- High cure rates for localized disease (95%+ at 10 years)
- Access to PSMA-PET imaging for precise staging
- Urinary incontinence (temporary or persistent)
- Erectile dysfunction despite nerve-sparing techniques
- Radiation-induced bowel or bladder irritation
- Hormone therapy side effects (osteoporosis, metabolic changes)
