Robot-Assisted Prostate Cancer Surgery: Two Decades of Quality and Innovation
Studies have found that patients who are treated at cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute have better survival — up to 25% better — compared to patients treated at other facilities.
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY is among this select group of elite comprehensive cancer centers designated by the NCI — and the only one in New York State outside of New York City.
With our long history of innovation in prostate cancer — developing the PSA test used worldwide to detect the disease — Roswell Park has pioneered robot-assisted surgery since 2004, and this excellence is reflected in our novel techniques to optimize outcomes and preserve quality of life for patients with prostate cancer:
- Hydrodissection technique, which uses saline to gently push the nerves away from the prostate, preserving sexual function
- Urethral-sparing approach that results in early return of urinary continence
- High-volume experience from more than 4,000 robot-assisted prostatectomies
