Prostate Cancer Treatment in Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow – Swastik Urology Clinic
Swastik Urology Clinic in Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow offers comprehensive and individualised care for prostate cancer under the guidance of Dr. Aditya Sengar (Urologist). From raised PSA levels and suspicious MRI findings to confirmed prostate cancer on biopsy, we provide stepwise evaluation and treatment plans focused on early detection, cancer control, preservation of urinary and sexual function and long-term follow-up.
What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate gland – a
small
gland located below the bladder in men – start growing abnormally and form a
tumour.
Most cases are adenocarcinoma, arising from the glandular
tissue of
the prostate.
In many men, prostate cancer grows slowly and may remain confined to the prostate for years. In others, it can be more aggressive and spread beyond the gland to nearby tissues, lymph nodes or bones if not treated in time.
Early stages may not produce any obvious symptoms and are often picked up by a raised PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test or an abnormal digital rectal examination. With timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many patients can achieve excellent long-term control or cure of the disease.

Urinary Symptoms & Weak Stream
Men with prostate enlargement or cancer may notice frequent urination,
especially at night, weak or interrupted urine stream, difficulty
starting
urine, dribbling at the end of urination or a feeling of incomplete
emptying. These symptoms can be caused by benign enlargement (BPH) or
cancer, so proper evaluation is important.
Blood in Urine or Semen
Visible or microscopic blood in urine or semen can be a warning sign of
prostate or other urinary tract diseases. Although infections and benign
causes are common, persistent or recurrent bleeding needs detailed
evaluation by a urologist, especially in men above 50 years.
Bone Pain & General Symptoms
In more advanced stages, prostate cancer can spread to bones and other
organs, leading to persistent back, hip or bone pain, weakness, weight
loss or fatigue. These features require urgent attention and thorough
staging to decide the best treatment strategy.
Raised PSA Without Symptoms
Many men have no urinary complaints but are found to have a raised PSA
on
routine health check-ups. A single raised value does not always mean
cancer, but it must be interpreted by a urologist along with age,
prostate
size, examination findings and, when needed, MRI or biopsy to confirm
the
diagnosis.
Causes & Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not fully understood, but several factors
are
known to increase risk:
1. Age – Prostate cancer is more common in men above 50 years, and the risk increases further with age.
2. Family History – Having a father, brother or close relative with prostate cancer increases your own risk, especially if they were diagnosed at a younger age.
3. Genetics – Certain inherited gene changes can raise the tendency to develop prostate and other cancers.
4. Lifestyle Factors – Obesity, lack of physical activity and diets high in processed foods and saturated fats may be associated with increased risk.
5. Ethnicity & Hormonal Factors – Prostate cancer risk varies by ethnicity and is influenced by male hormones (androgens).
Regular check-ups with PSA testing, digital rectal examination and, when indicated, prostate MRI or biopsy help detect prostate cancer early, when it is easier to treat and control.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Options at Swastik Urology Clinic
Treatment choice depends on the stage, PSA level, Gleason grade and
overall
health, along with your expectations and lifestyle:
1. Active Surveillance (For Selected Low-Risk Cancers)
• Suitable for some low-risk, early-stage cancers in older or carefully selected younger men
• Involves regular PSA tests, examinations and repeat imaging/biopsy as needed
• Aims to avoid or delay treatment side effects while safely monitoring the cancer
2. Radical Prostatectomy
• Surgical removal of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues for localised cancers in fit patients
• Can be performed by open or minimally invasive approach depending on suitability
• Aims for complete cancer removal with close attention to urinary continence and erectile function where possible
3. Radiotherapy & Hormonal Therapy (Coordinated Care)
• External beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy may be recommended, often in combination with androgen deprivation (hormonal) therapy
• Useful in intermediate/high-risk localised disease, locally advanced or inoperable cancers
• We coordinate with radiation and medical oncology centres for comprehensive care
4. Treatment for Advanced / Metastatic Prostate Cancer
• Includes hormonal therapy, newer androgen pathway inhibitors, chemotherapy and bone-directed treatments as per stage and guidelines
• Aim is to control disease, relieve symptoms and maintain quality of life
Your urologist will discuss all suitable options and recommend the safest and most effective treatment plan based on your reports and clinical condition, answering any questions you may have at each step.

When should I consult a urologist for possible prostate cancer?
You should consult a urologist if you are a man above 50 years (or above 45 years with a family history) and have persistent urinary symptoms such as weak stream, frequent urination at night, difficulty starting urine, or if your PSA on a health check-up is raised. Blood in urine or semen, bone pain or unexplained weight loss also warrant urgent evaluation. Even in the absence of symptoms, periodic screening can help detect prostate cancer at an early, more treatable stage.
Is prostate cancer always fast-growing and dangerous?
No. Prostate cancer behaves differently in different individuals. Many prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not cause serious problems for years, while others can be more aggressive. That is why risk stratification using PSA, biopsy Gleason score and stage is very important. Some men may be suitable for active surveillance, whereas others benefit from early surgery or radiotherapy. Your urologist will help you understand the nature of your cancer and the most appropriate management.
How long do I need to stay in the hospital for prostate cancer surgery?
Hospital stay after radical prostatectomy depends on the surgical approach, your general health and recovery. Many patients stay for a few days, during which pain control, mobility and catheter care are monitored. You will be guided about catheter removal timing, wound care, activity restrictions and follow-up visits. Your urologist will explain the expected duration of stay and recovery plan before scheduling the procedure.
Can prostate cancer be cured? What follow-up is needed?
Many men with localised or early-stage prostate cancer can achieve excellent long-term control or cure with appropriate treatment such as surgery or radiotherapy. Even in more advanced stages, modern therapies can significantly slow disease progression and improve quality of life. Regular follow-up with PSA tests, clinical reviews and, when required, imaging is essential after treatment to detect any recurrence early. At Swastik Urology Clinic, we create an individualised follow-up schedule and support you in long-term care and lifestyle measures.
