The Prostate Clinic, treatment and complete care for all the diseases and conditions which affect the prostate, urinary and reproductive system.

Mr Eden works as a Consultant Urological Surgeon in Surrey, Hampshire & London specializing in Prostate Surgery.

Screening for prostate cancer is especially important for men with a family history as their risk is 2-3x greater. The slow growth of most prostate cancers provides a large window for early detection and cure with preservation of urinary & sexual function. Newly-published evidence from the European Prostate Cancer Screening Study has demonstrated a 31% reduction in prostate cancer-related deaths in patients screened with the PSA blood test. Use of the latest technology, including deCODE ProCa and PCA3 tests, allows assessment of future risk and recommendation for prostate biopsy, respectively, to be made on a more scientific basis.

Having pioneered nerve-sparing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in the UK in 2000, Christopher Eden has one of the largest combined personal experiences of pure and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy worldwide with over 1,360 cases achieving world-class results with published potency rates of up to 94%, continence rates of up to 98% and cancer cure rates of up to 96% (Eden et al., British Journal of Urology International 2009; 103: 1224-1230).

Prostate Cancer Surgery, Treatment

Prostate surgery
is not always the answer to prostate disease. Many times prostate surgery is not necessary. For example, many men especially those over 50 suffer from BPH (benign prostate hypertrophy or enlarged prostate). Prostate treatment
for this disease especially does not have to be prostate surgery any longer. Other prostate diseases such as prostatitis (a bacterial infection of the prostate), BEP (benign enlargement of the prostate) and odular hyperplasia of the prostate no longer have to be treated by surgery either. The time when prostate surgery is needed is when it is in the form of prostate cancer treatment. Removal of the prostate in order to stop the cancer from spreading, while a serious measure is usually very effective, especially for later stages of the disease. Prostate cancer treatment for earlier stages of the disease can be hormone therapy or radiation therapy also and are effective on early state cancer. If your doctor recommends prostate surgery as a form of prostate treatment and you are still unsure what to do do not hesitate to get a second opinion. An urologist can give you options for prostate treatment especially if you do not have cancer. There are also options for prostate cancer treatment. If you are told you have an early stage cancer you might want to consider this prostate cancer treatment first. There are less invasive and easier things to try first for early state cancer such as hormone therapy, radiation therapy and seed implants, which deliver the cancer fighting drug directly to the area of the cancer.
