Treatment of prostate cancer in Germany
Modern methods of treating prostate cancer: from early diagnosis to personalized therapy
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men. In the early stages it is often asymptomatic, but with timely diagnosis it can be successfully treated.
RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum uses innovative treatment methods, including Da Vinci robotic prostatectomy, brachytherapy, targeted therapy and hormonal therapy. Our specialists use the latest technologies to not only effectively fight the tumor, but also preserve the quality of life of patients, including erectile function and urinary control.
Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
In the initial stages, the disease may not manifest itself, but as the tumor grows, the following may occur:
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Weak or intermittent urine stream
- Feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Blood in urine or semen
- Discomfort in the pelvic area
If you have these symptoms, it is important to get your PSA level checked immediately – early diagnosis greatly increases the chances of a complete cure.
Diagnosis of prostate cancer at RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum
We conduct a comprehensive examination using high-precision equipment:
- PSA analysis is the main marker of prostate cancer.
- MRI of the prostate with contrast – detailed visualization of the tumor.
- Biopsy under MRI/ultrasound control – precise sampling of material.
- PET-CT with PSMA – detection of micrometastases.
- Genetic testing – for personalized treatment.
Our world-class doctors make diagnoses with maximum accuracy, eliminating errors.
Each direction is supervised by advanced oncologists.

Classification and stages of prostate cancer
Classification according to the TNM system and Gleason score:
- Stage I – microscopic tumor, not palpable.
- Stage II – the tumor is limited to the prostate, but is visible on ultrasound.
- Stage III – cancer extends beyond the prostate capsule.
- Stage IV – metastases to lymph nodes, bones, lungs.
The earlier cancer is detected, the higher the effectiveness of treatment.
Prostate cancer treatment methods
Surgical treatment
- Da Vinci robotic prostatectomy is a low-traumatic removal of the prostate while preserving the nerves.
- Laparoscopic surgery – minimal incisions, quick recovery.
Radiation therapy
- Brachytherapy is the injection of radioactive grains directly into the tumor.
- IMRT is high-precision radiation with minimal impact on healthy tissue.
Drug therapy
- Hormonal therapy – blocking testosterone, which feeds the tumor.
- Targeted and immunotherapy – for resistant forms of cancer.
Alternative Methods
- FUS ablation (HIFU) – ultrasonic destruction of the tumor.
- Cryotherapy is the freezing of cancer cells.
Survival prognosis
5-year survival rate:
- Localized cancer (I–II stage): ~100%
- Locally distributed (III stage): ~95%
- Metastatic (IV stage): ~30%
Key factors:
- PSA level (<10 ng/ml – better prognosis)
- Gleason sum (≤6 – low risk, ≥8 – high risk)
- No metastases to bones/lymph nodes
- Response to hormone therapy (in advanced forms)
Note: Early stages are often treatable. Even with metastases, modern therapy (PARP inhibitors, radiation therapy) prolongs life by years.
