  • サマリー

  • In this episode, Dr. JYP talks with USA Health urologist Dr. Christopher Keel, D.O about prostate cancer and men's health. They start by weighing the reasons for why some men avoid seeing a physician and discuss how the advent of Viagra for erectile dysfunction helped motivate many men to go to a doctor’s office. Dr. Keel highlights the importance of screening for prostate cancer starting at age 40 or 45 depending on family history. He explains how robotic surgery has improved treatment outcomes and reduced side effects.

    Dr. Keel also explores the usefulness of genetic testing for high-risk patients and how new drugs are revolutionizing cancer treatment. He and Dr. JYP stress the importance of maintaining a healthy weight to reduce cancer risk. Dr. Keel discusses the option of active surveillance for managing low-grade prostate cancer, pointing out that not every diagnosis requires immediate treatment. They wrap up by emphasizing the importance of getting checked during September, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. The key message: Get those check-ups, because early detection saves lives.


    3 Key Episode Takeaways

    1. Changing attitudes about screening: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing is crucial for early detection of prostate cancer; yet many men avoid screening due to fear or misconceptions about the test and potential diagnosis. This episode encourages men to use football season in September as a reminder to take care of their health and make an appointment to get tested.

    2. Advancements in prostate cancer treatment: Technological advancements such as the use of robotics in prostatectomies and the development of targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors and PSMA PET scans have revolutionized prostate cancer treatment. These innovations have made treatments less invasive and significantly reduced side effects such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. The use of genetic testing for personalized treatment plans is also a key point, showcasing a shift toward more individualized care. 3. Lifestyle factors affect prostate cancer risk: Obesity is linked to a higher incidence of prostate cancer – as well as other types of cancer. Healthier lifestyle choices such as following a Mediterranean diet and incorporating regular exercise is suggested not only for reducing cancer risk but also for improving overall health, including erectile function.
