Prostate Cancer: How Is It Diagnosed and Treated with Dr. Ramsey Chichakli

11/21/24 • 10 min

San Diego Health

An estimated one in eight men will develop prostate cancer at some point in their lives. For the roughly 300,000 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, early detection and treatment can help ensure to a successful outcome. And as prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, regular screenings are key to early diagnosis. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic urologist Ramsey Chichakli, MD, discuss prostate cancer, how it’s diagnosed, and treatment options. Dr. Chichakli also explains how surgery for prostate cancer has advanced over the years to become more precise and less invasive.

Best Immunotherapy Techniques for Cancer Patients with Dr. David Hermel

In this podcast, San Diego Health host Susan Taylor speaks with Dr. David Hermel of Scripps Cancer Center about immunotherapy, a groundbreaking approach to fighting cancer. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy, which affect both healthy and cancerous cells, immunotherapy precisely targets cancer cells by modifying the immune system. Immunotherapy is particularly effective for cancers like melanoma and may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation. Side effects are generally mild, resembling cold-like symptoms. At Scripps Cancer Center, multidisciplinary teams personalize treatments for optimal results.
