Background: Prostate cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers among men globally. Over the years, advancements in urology have focused on enhancing the accuracy of diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes while minimizing patient recovery times. Minimally invasive surgical techniques and personalized medicine are two critical areas of development that have significantly impacted prostate cancer management.
Methods: This article reviews recent advances in urological surgery, focusing on minimally invasive techniques such as robotic-assisted surgery, as well as the role of personalized treatment strategies in prostate cancer. The impact of these innovations on surgical precision, recovery time, and patient outcomes is examined, alongside emerging trends in precision medicine, including biomarker-driven therapies.
Results: Robotic-assisted prostatectomy has become the gold standard in prostate cancer surgery, offering enhanced precision and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Additionally, the integration of genomic profiling and targeted therapies has allowed for more personalized treatment regimens, improving outcomes for patients with localized and metastatic prostate cancer.
Conclusion: The field of urological surgery has witnessed significant advancements, particularly with minimally invasive techniques and the growing application of personalized medicine. These developments offer hope for improved patient outcomes and a shift toward more tailored and less invasive treatment approaches.
