Prostate Cancer Specialist in Pune, Dr. Rahul Wagh
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after skin cancer globally, and its incidence in Indian cities including Pune is rising with ageing populations and improved PSA screening uptake. It originates in the prostate gland, a walnut-sized gland in men that produces seminal fluid. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and may not require immediate treatment, but aggressive forms can spread quickly and require timely surgical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions, Prostate Cancer in Pune
Yes. Localised prostate cancer has excellent cure rates, often above 95% with surgery or radiation. Dr. Rahul Wagh in Pune offers robotic radical prostatectomy for eligible patients.
Robotic prostatectomy uses robotic arms controlled by the surgeon to remove the prostate with greater precision than traditional surgery, maximising cancer control while preserving continence and sexual function.
Nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy maximises the preservation of urinary continence and erectile function. Most patients regain continence within weeks to months after surgery.
A PSA level above 4 ng/mL warrants further evaluation, though some cancers can occur at lower levels. The trend and velocity of PSA rise is also important. A biopsy is required to confirm diagnosis.
