Paras Health Udaipur Offers Advanced Prostate Cancer Surgery, Bringing New Hope to Patients

Experts emphasize timely screening as prostate cancer cases rise; men above 50 advised to undergo regular PSA testing

Udaipur: Paras Health Udaipur is enhancing access to advanced prostate cancer treatment in the region through specialized surgical procedures and comprehensive cancer care services. Hospital experts stress that early detection remains the key to improving survival rates and treatment outcomes.

Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers affecting men worldwide and is rapidly emerging as a significant public health concern in India. According to The Lancet Commission on Prostate Cancer, the annual number of new prostate cancer cases globally is projected to increase from approximately 1.4 million in 2020 to nearly 2.9 million by 2040. This rise is primarily attributed to population aging and demographic changes. Experts believe these projections underscore the urgent need for greater awareness, regular screening, and timely treatment to improve outcomes and reduce the burden of advanced-stage disease.

One of the biggest challenges with prostate cancer is that it often develops silently, with many patients showing no symptoms during the early stages. As a result, diagnosis is frequently delayed until the disease has progressed significantly.

Dr. Mukesh Sewag, Consultant Urologist at Paras Health Udaipur, said, “Prostate cancer generally does not present any specific symptoms in its early stages. By the time symptoms begin to appear, the disease may already be at an advanced stage, making treatment more complex. Men above the age of 50, especially those with a family history of prostate cancer, should undergo regular PSA testing even if they feel healthy. Advances in surgical techniques and cancer treatment have significantly improved outcomes when the disease is detected early.”

Medical experts also point out that family history is a major risk factor for prostate cancer. Therefore, regular screening and preventive health check-ups are particularly important for individuals at higher risk.

With increasing life expectancy and a growing elderly population, specialists believe that greater awareness, routine PSA screening, and timely medical consultation can play a crucial role in reducing the burden of advanced-stage prostate cancer in India. Paras Health Udaipur advises men aged 50 years and above to discuss appropriate screening tests with their doctors during routine health check-ups to enable early detection and better prevention of serious illnesses.
