Key Benefits of Aquablation® Therapy

Some prostate cancers grow so slowly that they may never cause serious health problems. For many men, especially those with Gleason 6 prostate cancer, immediate treatment isn’t necessary. Studies involving over 20,000 men with Gleason 6 cancer found no cases of distant metastasis beyond the local pelvic area.

Here’s why Active Surveillance is essential:

  • Biopsies only sample part of the prostate, meaning more aggressive cancer could still be present.
  • Low-volume Gleason 7 cancers (3+4) may still qualify for Active Surveillance if molecular testing confirms low risk.
  • The goal is to intervene early if cancer progresses while preserving quality of life.

At UPNT, our urologists use:

  • Expert Pathology Review Ensuring an accurate Gleason score.
  • Molecular Testing Identifying the genetic behavior of your cancer.
  • Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) High-resolution imaging to monitor changes.
  • Regular PSA Testing & Physical Exams Tracking prostate health every 6 months to 1 year.

Key Benefits of Aquablation® Therapy

  • Preserves ejaculation – Over 90% of men maintain normal function
  • No incisions, no heat damage – Protects your sexual function
  • Long-term results – Less than 5% retreatment rate (WATER trial)
  • Same-day discharge – Most men go home with a catheter for a few days
  • Performed by UPNT’s expert surgeons at USMD Hospital at Arlington
