>>ZAC LASHWAY: TODAY WE’RE CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION FOR NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER
AWARENESS MONTH. MANY MEN DO
NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR
PROSTATE DOES AND HOW IT CAN
IMPACT THEIR LIVES. THE
PROSTATE IS A MALE REPRODUCTIVE
ORGAN, AND IT CAN BECOME LARGER
AS MEN GET OLDER, BUT THE
GROWTH CAN LEAD
TO COMPLICATIONS. JOINING US
THIS MORNING IS DOCTOR ALI
BECAUSE RYAN DOCTOR ALI, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING WITH US
THIS MORNING. THIS IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT CONVERSATION ONE WE
STARTED LAST WEEK IT CAN BE A
VERY INTO MEANT AN AWKWARD
CONVERSATION, SO IT’S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE
IT. THANK YOU AGAIN, THANK YOU
AGAIN FOR
HAVING ME.
>> I MEAN I THINK IT’S AN
IMPORTANT DISCUSSION TO HAVE
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY AS PROSECUTOR
AWARENESS MONTH. ONE OUT OF 9 MINUTES PROSECUTES OR LIFETIME SO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT
SCREENING IS IMPORTANT. BUT ONE
QUESTION THAT OFTEN COMES UP.
IS WATER THE SYMPTOMS OF
PROSTATE CANCER AND WHAT IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT FOR MEN TO
UNDERSTAND THIS. MOST OFTEN
PROSTATE CANCER DOESN’T HAVE
ANY SYMPTOMS PEOPLE GET A PSA
TEST WHICH IS THAT LAB TESTS AS
A SCREENING TEST FOR PROSTATE
CANCER OR RECTAL EXAM FINDING
THAT PROMPTS FURTHER EVALUATION
WHEN THERE ARE A UROLOGIST.
MOST OF THE SYMPTOMS RELATED TO
THE PROCESS OF 4 MEN ARE
URINATION SYMPTOMS RELATED TO
BE PH WHICH IS BENIGN
PROSTHETIC HYPERPLASIA SO THE
PROSTATE GROWS OVER TIME
WITH AGE AND HOW MUCH IT GROWS
AND HOW MUCH IT BOTHERS A
GENTLEMAN IS VERY SPECIFIC TO
THAT.
>> HOW MANY PEOPLE. SUFFER FROM
THIS CONDITION. >> SO IT’S INTERESTING YOU KNOW 40% OF MEN IN THEIR 50’S AND UP
TO 80% OF MEN IN THEIR 70’S
OVER TIME WILL SUFFER FROM
SYMPTOMS OF BPH WHICH CAN BE A
WEEK STREAM THEIR WAKING UP AT
NIGHT TO URINATE THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY’RE STRAINING
TO URINATE THEY GO MORE
FREQUENTLY THEY GO MORE
URGENTLY AND YOU CAN IMAGINE AS
THIS BEGINS TO BECOME MORE OF A
PROBLEM. IT CAN BE MORE IMPACT
FOR OUR LIVES AND
AND UNFORTUNATELY CAN PROGRESS
FOR THE BLADDER STARTS HAVING
ISSUES TO THE POINT OF
NOT JUST BEING OVERACTIVE BUT
ACTUALLY THINGS THAT PEOPLE
BECOME CATHETER DEPENDENT SO SO
JUMPING ON THIS EARLY AND
TALKING TO YOUR UROLOGIST
IS NOT ONLY GOOD THING TO
RELIEVE SYMPTOMS BUT PROTECTING
YOUR BLADDER FUNCTION ON THE
PHONE YESTERDAY YOU AND I WERE
SPEAKING
ABOUT THIS.
>>ZAC LASHWAY: YOU ARE ALSO
TALKING ABOUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT
PLANS OF TREATMENT FOR
THIS CONDITION. YEAH, I MEAN IF
YOU THINK ABOUT THE YOU KNOW
THERE ARE SEVERAL TREATMENTS
THAT HAVE EMERGED OVER THE OVER
THE
RECENT PAST.
>> TO COMPLIMENT THE GOLD
STANDARD FOR MANAGING BPH.
SURGICALLY WHICH IS THAT
RANGERS ARE A SECTION OF THE
PROSTATE WHICH IF YOU IMAGINE
THE PROCESS LIKE AN ORANGE THE
INSIDE FRUIT PORTION IS THE
PORTION THAT GROWS OVER TIME
THAT CAUSES SYMPTOMS SO THAT
HER FOR THAT RANDI 3 SECTION OF
THE PROCESS LIKE GOING WITH A
SPOON CARVING OUT THE FRUIT.
WE GET A SURGICAL PORTIONS
WOULD MEDICINES DON’T WORK
PATIENTS ABILITY TO TO TO
MANAGE THIS A NONINVASIVE WAY
SEEM TO NOT ALLEVIATE SYMPTOMS
OR PEOPLE HAVE MORE MORE
IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT ARISE
FROM
THEIR BPH. NOW YOU KNOW WE HAVE
EMERGED WITH WITH MORE
MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES
THAT CAN DECADE IT BOTH IN
OUTPATIENT SETTINGS BUT ALSO
AND MORE PRECISE AND ACCURATE
WAYS OPEN UP THE LARGER
PROSTATE SAID INTO THE THINGS
WE SPOKE ABOUT ONE AS
THE EURO LIFT SYSTEM WHICH
WHICH IS A VERY VERY SIMPLE
OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE TO DO AND
THE OTHER ONE IS
COALITION PROCEDURE WHICH WHICH
USES A COMBINATION OF AN
ULTRASOUND TO LOOK FROM OUTSIDE
IN AND ASSIST US COPTIC VIEW
FROM A LOOKING FROM
INSIDE OUT TO TO VERY PRECISELY
MAN IS THE PROCESS HERE YOU
HAVE A PICTURE UP ON THE SCREEN
OF COALITION PROCEDURE
WHICH ARE VERY PROUD TO BEEN
ONE OF THE FIRST TEAMS IN THE
COUNTRY TO SET TO BEGIN DOING.
AND RIGHT NOW WE’RE ONE OF THE
HIGH-VOLUME CENTERS IN
THE COUNTRY AND THE REASON I
LIKE THIS PROCEDURE IS THAT IT
ALLOWS YOU LOOK WITH THE
ULTRASOUND THE PICTURE THAT YOU
SEE ON THE LEFT TO ACTUALLY SEE
WHAT PORTIONS OF THE PROCESS
YOU NEED TO OPEN UP.
AND YOU SIR AND YOU PLAN IT SO
IT COMBINES THE THE REAL-TIME
IMAGING WITH ROBOTIC PLANNING
AND THEN THAT SYSTEM SCAPA VIEW
ALLOWS YOU TO PLAN TO DELIVER
THAT THAT PLANNING WITH A WATER
JET. THAT OPENS UP THE PORTION
OF THE PROSTATE THAT’S
OBSTRUCTED AN IN REAL TIME YOU
CAN SEE WHAT’S WHAT’S BEING.
UNOBSTRUCTED AND THE RESULTS
HAVE BEEN
FANTASTIC AND IT CAN BE USED
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SIZE OF THE
PROSTATE SO FOR MEN WITH VERY
VERY LARGE PROCESS WERE
PREVIOUSLY
WE HAD OPEN SURGICAL PROCEDURES
THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO OPEN
UP THAT MIDDLE PORTION, THIS
WATER JET TECHNIQUE USES A HEAT
FREE WATER JET COMBINED WITH
REAL-TIME IMAGING AND AND AND
A ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY TO ALLOW A
PRECISE AND ACCURATE AND
REPRODUCIBLE WAY OF TAKING CARE
OF
