What Is Prostate Cancer and How It Develops
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, especially those over the age of 50. It begins in the prostate gland — a small, walnut-shaped organ located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate’s main role is to produce fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Cancer develops when the cells in the prostate start growing abnormally and uncontrollably, forming a tumor.
In some men, the cancer grows slowly and remains confined to the gland, causing few symptoms However, in more aggressive cases, it can spread to nearby tissues, lymph nodes, or even bones Early stages of prostate cancer may not show obvious signs, which is why regular screening and prostate check-ups are vital for early detection and successful treatment.

Is prostate cancer curable?
Yes, prostate cancer is highly treatable and often curable, especially when detected early. Many patients live long, healthy lives after treatment. With modern advances such as robotic assisted surgery, targeted therapy, and personalised treatment planning, outcomes today are better than ever. Early screening and timely treatment offer the best chance of a full cure.
What are the early warning signs?
In many cases, early prostate cancer may not cause obvious symptoms. However, some men may notice changes such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, blood in urine or semen, or discomfort in the pelvic area. Any persistent symptoms should be evaluated early, and men over 40 are encouraged to get routine prostate screening even without symptoms.
How long does robotic prostate surgery take?
Robotic prostate surgery typically takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on each patient’s condition and anatomy. With enhanced precision, minimal blood loss, and advanced 3D visualisation, this approach allows for a safer and more accurate procedure, with better preservation of continence and sexual function compared to traditional surgery.
What is recovery time after surgery?
Most patients begin walking the same day or the next day, and many go home within 24 hours. Full recovery usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, with most men resuming normal daily activities soon after. Because robotic surgery uses small incisions and gentle tissue handling, patients generally experience less pain, faster healing, and a quicker return to routine life.
