Dr. Ash Tewari: “The Day I Learned I Had Prostate Cancer”
When Michael Zacharia went for a routine physical last year, things in his life could not have been better. However a blood test showed elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland of the male reproductive system. The results of a subsequent prostate biopsy came back positive. He chose to have a newer procedure called robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), in which surgeons use a tiny camera and robotic instruments for greater precision. “Having advanced imaging before surgery helps to identify nerves and how they are arranged around the prostate and if any of those nerves are involved with the cancer,” explains Ashutosh Tewari, MD, chair of urology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, who performed Zacharia’s surgery.
