An enlarged prostate is a common condition, especially as men get older. While it is not cancer, it can still significantly affect quality of life.

Typical symptoms include:

Frequent urination, especially at night
Weak urine flow
Difficulty starting or emptying the bladder

These symptoms are often gradual and can be mistaken as a normal part of aging. However, they may indicate benign prostate enlargement (BPH) and should be evaluated properly.

Diagnosis is important, not only to confirm BPH, but also to rule out other causes, including prostate cancer.

Depending on the severity, treatment options range from observation and medication to minimally invasive procedures.

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) combines a chemotherapy agent with short electrical pulses that temporarily open the membranes of cancer cells. This allows the medication to enter the tumor cells more effectively, increasing its local impact while limiting exposure to surrounding tissue.

In prostate cancer care, ECT can be used as a focal treatment approach, targeting specific tumor areas within the prostate. The goal is to control the tumor while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

At VITUS Privatklinik, electrochemotherapy may be considered as part of an individualized treatment strategy. Depending on the characteristics of the disease, it can also be combined with other approaches such as irreversible electroporation (IRE) or immunotherapy.

As with all treatments, careful diagnostics and patient selection are essential to determine whether this approach is appropriate.

Radical prostatectomy has limited effectiveness in preventing metastases, with a number needed to treat of 15 to prevent one death. In this video, Prof. Dr. Mult. Stehling explains why most patients don't see a survival benefit from surgery and highlights the critical role of immunotherapy and focal therapy in stopping cancer from spreading. Learn about advanced treatments that offer real hope for preventing metastases and improving outcomes.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a focal treatment option for selected prostate cancer cases. It uses light activation to target cancer cells locally, with a strong emphasis on precision.

At VITUS Privatklinik, PDT is part of an individual, carefully evaluated treatment approach.

PSA is an important screening marker, but an elevated value can have different causes, including benign prostate enlargement (BPH), inflammation or infection, age-related changes, or other medical factors.

What matters is not a single number, but understanding why PSA is elevated.
Careful evaluation and appropriate diagnostics help clarify the situation and guide the next steps.

18/12/2025

Prostate cancer is a complex disease, not only because of the tumour itself, but also due to microscopic cancer cells that may be present throughout the body even after local treatment. Traditional approaches like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy often focus only on the tumour in the prostate and can weaken the immune system in the process.

At VITUS Privatklinik, we combine immunotherapy with focal treatments such as irreversible electroporation (IRE/NanoKnife™) to make tumour cells more visible to the immune system and enhance the immune response against residual microscopic disease.

This combined strategy is part of our broader effort to treat prostate cancer in a way that addresses both the local tumour and the systemic cancer cells while preserving quality of life.

The real danger in prostate cancer is not the tumor you can see.
It’s the metastases you can’t.
That’s why the immune system and immunotherapy, are central to truly lifesaving treatment.
