Prostate Lumpectomy

Prostate gland lumpectomies been offered for 12 years. A cryo removal of cancerous tumors in the prostate gland.

This makes much more sense because it is less expensive and less invasive then total removal of the gland. Since the prostate and the liver can both reproduce themselves this is a better way to return a cancerous prostate gland back to good health.
This also helps avoid the post-prostatectomy problems of erectile dysfunction and incontinence. Did I mention the VERY important issue of a better then standard biopsy diagnosis so that the cancer can be CURED.

Why this is not offered to ALL males with DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) lumps and/or rising PSA is beyond comprehension. This should be THE standard of care!

If you or a loved one has the above mentioned symptoms you owe it to yourself to investigate this treatment.
