Let’s talk about prostate cancer
Loyola Medicine's prostate health video series will help you learn the facts and take control.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among American men. To protect yourself and your family, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the disease and be informed. To help you take the first step, Loyola Medicine urologists have developed a video series about prostate cancer screening, treatment and life after diagnosis.
This video series can be accessed any time to help you or a loved one feel more informed about your options.
Prostate cancer screening
Screening is an important tool for detecting prostate cancer in its earliest stages when it’s most treatable. In this video, Urologic Oncologist Gopal Gupta, MD, explains standard screening methods such as the PSA blood test, as well as more advanced options like transperineal biopsy, a highly accurate method that reduces infection risk and improves detection using MRI-ultrasound fusion technology.
Treatment options for prostate cancer
With a prostate cancer diagnosis, it’s critical to understand your treatment options. In this video, Dr. Gupta introduces and explains high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), an advanced, non-invasive treatment option for prostate cancer. Learn how this precise therapy targets cancer while minimizing side effects and preserving quality of life.
Prostate cancer survivorship
Urologist Ahmer Farooq, DO, shares insights on life after prostate cancer treatment. This video explores managing sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and side effects like urinary or bowel issues. Learn about Loyola’s approach to follow-up care, lifestyle changes, emotional well-being and building a strong support network for lasting recovery.
