Experience Really Is Important When It Comes To Prostate Cancer Surgery
Posted by Goody on 02/8/08 in Health and Fitness
With most things in life it is true to say that the more practiced and experienced you are the better your performance and this is most certainly true with prostate cancer surgery.
One of the biggest problems with cancer is that, in spite of the best efforts of your surgeon, it has a bad habit of recurring in a number of cases. In the case of prostate cancer following the total removal of the prostate by radical prostatectomy recent studies show that, while the chances of a recurrence are around 18 percent where surgery is carried out by a fairly inexperienced surgeon, this figure falls to under 11 percent in more experience hands. So just what do we mean by ‘experienced hands’?
