Vigilancia activa del tumor
No todos los cánceres de próstata requieren un tratamiento inmediato. En determinados pacientes con tumores de bajo riesgo y crecimiento lento, la vigilancia activa permite controlar la enfermedad de forma segura evitando tratamientos innecesarios.
Este enfoque consiste en realizar revisiones periódicas mediante análisis de PSA, resonancias magnéticas y, cuando sea necesario, biopsias de control. El objetivo es monitorizar la evolución del tumor y actuar únicamente si se detectan signos de progresión.
La vigilancia activa ayuda a mantener la calidad de vida del paciente, evitando o retrasando posibles efectos secundarios asociados a otros tratamientos sin comprometer la seguridad oncológica.
Why do we use this type of biopsy in GUA?
We guarantee the most accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.
If an elevated PSA (portate-specific antigen) is observed during a urological examination, or if areas of induration are palpated during a digital rectal examination, this technique can be used.
Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer in men, with 1 in 9 men diagnosed. Moreover, it usually has no symptoms until it is in advanced stages. For this reason it is vital to make an early and accurate diagnosis.
At GUA we are always looking for the best tools to assist our patients and this mapping, which fuses the images extracted from the multiparametric MRI with those obtained in the ultrasound, allowing us to obtain a 3D image with which to identify the exact points in which to perform the biopsy, is the best tool at the service of the health of our patients.
