Narayana Health’s uro-oncology expert shares knowledge on the use of robotics in prostate cancer with Bangladeshi doctors

Narayana Health (NH), one of India's leading healthcare groups, partnered with Oncology Present & Future Bangladesh to host a successful seminar on the "Use of robotics in prostate cancer" in Dhaka recently, says a press release. Over 100 doctors and industry experts attended the event, which aimed to provide insights into the latest developments in robotic surgery for prostate cancer and benefit Bangladeshi patients.

The seminar is expected to have a wide-ranging impact on Bangladesh's healthcare expertise. By empowering local doctors and enhancing their knowledge of advanced robotic procedures, it will enable early referrals to advanced centres, leading to improved clinical outcomes.

The use of robotics in prostate cancer treatment, particularly robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), was discussed. Robotic technology offers benefits such as enhanced precision, shorter recovery times, and improved outcomes compared to traditional methods.

Bangladesh faces a rising number of cancer cases, with prostate cancer being the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer globally. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, but unfortunately, most cases in Bangladesh are detected at advanced stages, resulting in high fatality rates.

Narayana Health remains committed to advancing cancer treatment, including prostate cancer, and driving innovation in healthcare.
