Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, especially as they age. Early and appropriate treatment is crucial to improve recovery outcomes and maintain quality of life.
At Mandaya Puri, a wide range of modern prostate cancer treatments is available, from precise robotic prostatectomy using the Da Vinci Xi system to Lutetium-177 therapy for advanced-stage cases, as well as systemic treatments such as chemotherapy.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Options at Mandaya Puri
Here are the prostate cancer treatment options available at Mandaya Puri, tailored to each patient’s condition:
1. Prostatectomy with the Da Vinci Xi Robot
Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the prostate gland. This procedure can be performed using advanced robotic technology such as the Da Vinci Xi system, which helps surgeons operate with greater precision.
During the procedure, the surgeon controls robotic arms through a console with a high-resolution 3D view, allowing clearer and more detailed visualization of the prostate area. The flexible robotic arms enable smoother and more accurate movements, especially in areas close to important nerves and blood vessels.
Compared to open surgery, robotic prostatectomy is minimally invasive, performed through small incisions. This offers several benefits, including less bleeding, reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, and a lower risk of complications, leading to more optimal surgical outcomes.
2. Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to destroy cancer cells. It can be used as a primary treatment or combined with other therapies, depending on the stage and condition of the cancer.
In addition to targeting cancer cells, radiation therapy can also help relieve symptoms, especially in advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. With modern technology, radiation can now be delivered more precisely to the tumor, helping protect surrounding healthy tissue.
3. Systemic Therapies
If cancer has spread beyond the prostate, doctors may recommend systemic therapies. These treatments work throughout the body to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth.
- Hormone therapy: This treatment lowers or blocks testosterone, a hormone that can stimulate prostate cancer growth. It is typically done using medications, and in some cases, surgery may be performed to stop hormone production.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells and is usually given for advanced prostate cancer. It may be used alone or combined with hormone therapy, especially if the cancer has spread.
- Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy helps boost the immune system’s ability to detect and fight cancer cells. It is often used for advanced or recurrent prostate cancer.
- Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy works by attacking specific genetic mutations that drive cancer growth. It is particularly effective in prostate cancers with certain mutations, such as BRCA.
4. Lutetium-177 Therapy
Lutetium-177 PSMA is a targeted therapy that uses a radioactive substance to treat prostate cancer more precisely. This treatment combines the radioactive isotope Lutetium-177 with a molecule that binds to PSMA, a protein commonly found on prostate cancer cells.
Once administered through the bloodstream, the compound seeks out and attaches to PSMA-expressing cancer cells. It then releases radiation to destroy these cells, while also affecting a small number of nearby cells.
Because it targets cancer cells more specifically, Lutetium-177 therapy can control the disease more effectively and generally causes fewer side effects compared to non-targeted treatments.
