Awareness, Early Diagnosis, and Innovative Treatment
November is recognized worldwide as Prostate Cancer Awareness and Prevention Month.
It is a time when society pays special attention to men’s health, timely prostate examinations, and maintaining (or improving) quality of life.
Movember is an annual global campaign during which men grow mustaches throughout November (hence the name: Moustache + November) to raise awareness of key issues in men’s health.
The main goal of this campaign is to emphasize the importance of early prostate cancer diagnosis and to increase access to effective and modern treatment options.
Why is early diagnosis of prostate cancer crucial?
Prostate cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases among men.
Its challenge lies in the fact that in the early stages, it is almost always asymptomatic.
That is why the spirit of Movember must translate into practical action:
• Early screening = saved lives.
• Prostate cancer detected at an early stage is completely curable.
The importance of accurate screening
Screening requires highly precise diagnostic methods.
The Karazanashvili Robotics Center offers an ultra-precise, multi-step prostate cancer screening program using Micro-Ultrasound 29 MHz — a technology available only at the five branches of the Karazanashvili Robotics Center in Georgia, the Caucasus, and the Black Sea region.
Micro-Ultrasound 29 MHz is a very high-frequency ultrasound device used in the diagnosis of prostate diseases.
Its precision is comparable to MRI, and it is used only in the world’s leading clinics.
Thus, in our centers, you have access to diagnostic methods that meet international gold standards.
Screening includes:
- Prostate assessment with Micro-Ultrasound (29 MHz)
- PSA blood test
- PSA density measurement
Who should undergo screening?
• All men over 50 years of age
• From age 45 — if there is a family history of prostate cancer
The main goal of Movember: treatment with minimal side effects
The Movember campaign addresses not only early diagnosis but also treatment outcomes — emphasizing cure with the fewest possible side effects.
Today, robotic surgery is recognized as one of the most modern, safe, and effective treatment methods.
That is why the Karazanashvili Robotics Center, the only robotic surgery clinic in the Caucasus region, offers state-of-the-art prostate cancer treatment using robotic technology.
Toumai Robot — the latest generation of robotic surgery:
- Micromillimetric precision: minimal trauma and blood loss
• Maximum preservation of sexual function and urinary continence
• Fast recovery due to minimal incisions
“RUTH” — Prostate Cancer Treatment Without Surgery
RUTH (Robotic HIFU) is a non-invasive, localized, and highly precise treatment that destroys only the cancerous tissue without damaging healthy structures.
This approach fully embodies the idea of Movember:
• No incisions
• Preservation of sexual function
• Only 1 day of hospitalization
This method offers the perfect balance between surgery and active surveillance, providing effective results with minimal side effects.
️ Conclusion: Movember is a Call to Action
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that prostate cancer is curable — especially when detected early.
Screening is the key step that enables physicians to apply innovative treatment methods, ensuring the best possible outcomes and preserving the highest quality of life.
