Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer Specialist in Jalandhar – Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal | Sarvodya Hospital
Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, especially those over the age of 50. At Sarvodya Hospital, under Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, a highly experienced urologist, offers advanced screening, diagnosis, and personalized treatment for prostate cancer — with a focus on early detection and minimally invasive therapies.

If you or a loved one has concerns about prostate health, expert help is available close to home.

What Is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small organ located below the bladder that helps produce seminal fluid. While some types grow slowly and may not cause serious harm, others can be more aggressive and spread quickly without proper treatment.

Early detection is the key to successful treatment.

Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

In its early stages, prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms can include:

  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Weak or interrupted urine stream
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Blood in urine or semen
  • Pain during ejaculation
  • Discomfort in the pelvic area or lower back
  • Erectile dysfunction

Note: These symptoms can also be caused by benign conditions like BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) — which is why proper evaluation by a urologist is essential.

Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer

You may be at higher risk if you:

  • Are over age 50
  • Have a family history of prostate or breast cancer
  • Are of African or South Asian descent
  • Follow a high-fat or low-fiber diet
  • Have obesity or sedentary lifestyle
  • Have elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels
Prostate Cancer Screening

At Sarvodya Hospital, we offer early detection through screening, especially for men over 50 or those with risk factors.

Screening Tests Include:

  • PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Blood Test – Detects elevated PSA levels, which may indicate cancer or other prostate issues.
  • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) – A physical exam to feel for lumps or abnormalities.
  • MRI or MRI-TRUS Fusion Biopsy – Advanced imaging to guide targeted prostate biopsies.

Early-stage prostate cancer often has no symptoms — regular screening saves lives.

Diagnosing Prostate Cancer

If your screening results are abnormal, further testing may include:

  • Multiparametric MRI of the prostate
  • TRUS-guided prostate biopsy (Transrectal ultrasound)
  • MRI/Ultrasound fusion biopsy for greater accuracy
  • Bone scan or PET-CT if cancer spread is suspected

Prostate Cancer Treatment Options

Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal provides personalized treatment plans based on the cancer stage, your overall health, and personal preferences.

  •  Active Surveillance: For low-risk or slow-growing cancers — regular monitoring without immediate treatment.
  • Surgery (Radical Prostatectomy): Removal of the prostate gland, often with laparoscopic techniques for minimal downtime and faster recovery.
  • Radiation Therapy: External beam or brachytherapy (internal radiation) used to target cancer cells.
  • Hormone Therapy: Used to reduce testosterone levels and slow cancer growth — especially for advanced cases.
  • Chemotherapy or Targeted Therapy: For more aggressive or metastatic prostate cancer.

No. PSA can rise due to non-cancerous conditions like prostatitis or BPH. Further testing is needed for diagnosis.
