Precise, technological treatment of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among Australian males.
The good news is that prostate cancer 5-year survival is high and has improved from 59% in 1986 to 90% in 2007. Advanced treatments like radical prostatectomy surgery are part of the reason for this change.
