Unravel why Aquablation is contraindicated for non-metastatic prostate cancer in this essential video hosted by Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, your reliable uro nurse guide to prostate health! Featuring and presented by Alex Hughes, Lead Nurse Practitioner at Austin Urology Institute and advisor for Soundable Health, we break down the critical reasons this innovative BPH treatment isn't suitable for localized prostate cancer patients, while spotlighting the game-changing ProudP digital tool—one of the most exciting advancements in urology today.Aquablation therapy, a minimally invasive waterjet procedure, excels at relieving BPH symptoms like urinary urgency, weak stream, and frequent nighttime trips by precisely removing excess prostate tissue. However, for men with non-metastatic (localized) prostate cancer, it's off-limits due to potential risks like incomplete cancer removal, disruption of targeted therapies, and the need for oncologic procedures like radical prostatectomy or radiation that demand whole-gland treatment. Alex Hughes dives into the FDA guidelines, ongoing clinical trials (like WATER IV PCa), and real-world implications, explaining how manipulating cancerous tissue could complicate staging, monitoring, or even seed cancer cells—though emerging studies show promise for active surveillance cases with symptomatic LUTS.Complementing this, discover how ProudP from Soundable Health empowers patients with real-time bladder monitoring, symptom tracking, and data-driven insights to manage prostate health alongside cancer care without invasive risks. Ideal for men navigating prostate cancer diagnosis, BPH vs. cancer confusion, or seeking urology innovations, this video offers clear, evidence-based advice on safer alternatives, treatment planning, and integrating digital tools for better outcomes.Whether you're dealing with enlarged prostate concerns, early-stage cancer worries, or just want to stay ahead of men's health trends, Alex and Vic deliver straightforward expertise to help you advocate for your care.Subscribe to my channel at / @uronurse1 for more in-depth urology breakdowns, prostate health tips, and updates on digital health solutions like ProudP!*The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.
