  • Confirmed prostate cancer with suspected metastasizing

How program is carried out

During the first visit, the physician will conduct a clinical examination and go through the results of the available examinations. After that, you will undergo the necessary additional examination, such as the assessment of liver and kidney function, ultrasound scan of the abdominal and pelvic organs. Based on the results, the physician will determine the number and localization of metastases, and plan the upcoming intervention.

On the eve of the intervention, you will receive an injection of radioactively labeled PSMA. PSMA is the substance that binds to the smallest prostate cancer metastases in the lymph nodes and other tissues. The radioactive label will allow the surgeon to find all the metastases during the operation.

Removal of prostate tumor metastases with a gamma probe starts with general anesthesia. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes small incisions through which he inserts endoscopic instruments, a gamma probe and a video camera into the pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity. The gamma probe detects the lymph nodes affected by metastases by a radioactive label, and the surgeon removes them endoscopically. The video camera continuously transmits a three-dimensional image of the operating field in 12-fold magnification to the monitor.

As the surgeon sees the operating field in multiple magnification, he preserves the nerve endings and large blood vessels. This significantly reduces the surgical risks. The gamma probe, in turn, allows detecting and removing all metastases, which minimizes the risk of prostate cancer recurrence.

After the completion of the operation, you will be transferred back to the ward, under the supervision of the attending physician and nursing staff. Due to the minimal invasiveness of the operation and the short duration of general anesthesia, you will not need to stay in the intensive care unit for a long time.

Finally, the attending physician will evaluate the results of control examinations, schedule the date of discharge from the hospital and give you detailed recommendations for further follow-up and treatment.

About the department

The Department of Nuclear Medicine University Hospital Jena offers the full range of radioisotope diagnostics and treatment using the state-of-art gamma cameras and PET-CT systems. All medical services comply with the guidelines of national and international professional societies, which ensures an accurate diagnostics and optimal treatment outcome. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Martin Freesmeyer.

The main therapeutic options of the department include radioiodine therapy, selective internal radiotherapy, peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy. A therapeutic method is selected depending on the specific clinical case. For example, selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is more effective in intensive vascularization of liver tumors. The SIRT-therapy is the most widely used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases in breast, colon or neuroendocrine cancers. The radioiodine therapy is effectively used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism in order to reduce the size of the thyroid gland, as well as for the treatment of the thyroid cancer recurrences.

The service range of the department includes:

  • Conventional diagnostics using gamma cameras
    • Scintigraphy in inflammatory processes
    • Myocardial scintigraphy
    • Lung scintigraphy
    • Parathyroid scintigraphy
    • Renal scintigraphy
    • Thyroid scintigraphy
    • Skeletal scintigraphy
  • PET-CT diagnostics (innovative diagnostic method, which combines positron emission tomography and computed tomography)
  • Therapeutic services
    • Radioiodine therapy
    • Radiosynovectomy
    • Selective internal radiation therapy
    • Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy
    • Other diagnostic and therapeutic services

About hospital

According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the University Hospital Jena regularly ranks among the top German medical facilities!

The hospital has positioned itself as a multidisciplinary medical facility with a long history of more than 200 years. Since its foundation, the hospital has been constantly developing and modernizing, thanks to which nowadays it offers patients the highest level of treatment in Germany based on the use of innovative technologies and the very latest therapeutic techniques. The hospital consists of 26 specialized departments and 25 research institutes. It treats more than 53,600 inpatients and about 274,000 outpatients every year. The staff of the hospital includes more than 5,600 competent doctors.

The extensive resources of the university hospital, high treatment standards, and the introduction of new research developments provide first-class treatment in Germany meeting the stringent international standards. The hospital has an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders, due to which it accepts a large number of foreign patients for the diagnostics and treatment.

Despite the technical progress and the availability of accurate computerized systems, the patient’s physical health and emotional state is the main value of each employee of the hospital, since some diagnoses cause emotional distress in patients. The doctors of the hospital believe that the key to a successful result is a comprehensive and individual approach, so they spend a lot of time talking with patients, listen carefully to all their wishes and support at all stages of the therapeutic process. All this in combination with high-precision diagnostic techniques and the very latest types of therapy forms a solid basis for the achievement of an optimal treatment result.
