NTV 7 interview with Dr Loh Chit Sin on using Cryotherapy to treat Urology Cancers

Surgeons perform tens of thousands of surgeries in a year to treat prostate cancer. The procedure, called radical prostatectomy has become a fine art in the medical world. How does robotic surgery come into play to improve this surgery? Dr.George and Dr.Loh Chit Sin join us in this discussion.

There is a belief that if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, you are relatively “lucky”, as it is a slow-growing cancer that doesn’t pose a serious threat to health. But don’t take this as a reason to dismiss prostate cancer. It is still important to detect and treat it early, for the best outcomes, as clinical studies have shown that earlier management of prostate cancer leads to better survival. Consultant urologist Dr Loh Chit Sin joins Dr George Lee to look at what is the best course of treatment for various stages of prostate cancer, and what difference early treatment makes.
