Beyond PSA: A Complete Approach to Prostate Care

Prostate conditions affect the majority of men over 50, ranging from benign enlargement that impairs quality of life to cancer that requires careful, individualized treatment decisions. At St. George Hospital, we believe that prostate care should be thorough, nuanced, and guided by advanced diagnostics rather than reliance on a single marker.

Our prostate program begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation that goes well beyond standard PSA testing. We assess prostate volume, tissue characteristics, immune status, hormonal environment, and functional impact to build a complete clinical picture before recommending treatment.

For both benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer, we offer integrative treatment options that prioritize efficacy while preserving urinary and sexual function whenever possible.

Conditions We Treat

Prostate Conditions at St. George Hospital

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Non-cancerous prostate enlargement causing urinary obstruction, frequency, nocturia, and incomplete bladder emptying. BPH affects approximately 50% of men over 50 and up to 90% of men over 80. Our approach addresses both the mechanical obstruction and the underlying hormonal and inflammatory drivers.

Prostate Cancer

From early-stage monitoring to active integrative treatment, we provide individualized protocols for prostate cancer. Our approach combines local therapies such as prostate-specific hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy with systemic support through immune modulation and insulin-potentiated therapy (IPT).

Diagnostic Approach

Comprehensive Prostate Assessment

Our prostate diagnostic workup evaluates multiple dimensions of prostate health to guide precise, individualized treatment recommendations.

1

Extended Laboratory Panel

PSA (total, free, and ratio), hormonal panel (testosterone, DHT, estradiol, SHBG), inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6), and immune profiling.

2

Imaging & Structural Assessment

Transrectal ultrasound with volume measurement, elastography where indicated, and assessment of bladder residual volume and urinary flow dynamics.

3

Functional Evaluation

Uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, IPSS symptom scoring, and quality-of-life assessment to understand the functional impact of prostate changes.

4

Individualized Treatment Plan

Based on the complete diagnostic picture, our physicians develop a targeted treatment plan that may combine local therapies, systemic support, and lifestyle modifications.

Treatment Options

Integrative Prostate Treatment at St. George

Our treatment protocols combine targeted local therapies with systemic support, tailored to each patient’s diagnosis, stage, and treatment goals.

Prostate Hyperthermia

Controlled heat applied directly to prostate tissue to reduce BPH volume and target cancerous cells. Hyperthermia enhances immune recognition, improves local blood flow, and can be combined with other therapies for synergistic effect. This minimally invasive approach preserves surrounding tissue and function.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

Light-activated compounds selectively target abnormal prostate tissue while sparing healthy cells. PDT offers a tissue-selective approach to prostate cancer treatment that minimizes damage to surrounding structures, supporting preservation of urinary and sexual function.

Insulin-Potentiated Therapy (IPT)

A systemic approach that uses insulin to enhance the uptake of low-dose therapeutic agents by cancer cells, which have significantly more insulin receptors than normal cells. IPT allows for targeted drug delivery with reduced systemic side effects compared to standard dosing.

Immune Modulation

Supporting the body's natural immune surveillance and anti-tumor response through thymus peptides, mistletoe therapy, high-dose vitamin C infusions, and targeted immunonutrition.

Hormone Balancing

Optimizing the hormonal environment that influences prostate health, including testosterone-to-estradiol ratios, DHT management, and adrenal support through bioidentical and natural approaches.
