Prostate –C.M.P.

Avoiding Prostate Biopsies

What is a Prostate C.M.P.

The Prostate – C.M.P. is the most comprehensive and sensitive exam to evaluate the prostate as it detects 5 times as many pathologies as conventional exams and it does it for each of the procedures involved without pain or suffering.

What are the objectives?

1.   Avoids prostate biopsy

2.   Detects what raises the PSA (prostate antigen)

3.   Determines what is causing the symptoms attributed to the prostate

4.   Determines what is causing the other symptoms in the patient

5.   Diagnosis other diseases in the body  

What is included in the Prostate C.M.P.

1.   A comprehensive and detailed clinical history

2.   Nineteen (19) color ultrasound images, each with a sensitivity of 99.8%. (Conventional exams only have a sensitivity of 17%): eyes, parotids, sublingual, submaxilar, carotids, jugular, thyroid, abdominal wall, penis, scrotum and testicles, heart, thorax, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, duodenum, aorta, lower thorax, kidneys, suprarenal, intestine, urethras, bladder and sperm ducts.

3.   Complete physical exam: height, weight, blood pressure and pulse (multiple readings) skin, nails, hair, ears, nostrils, sinus cavities, pharynx, eyes, respiratory , circulatory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrinological, nervous and locomotive systems

4.   Integration of all the findings

5.   C.A.D. (computer aided diagnosis)

6.   Description of the findings  

7.   Color images and gray tone images on CD

8.   Diagnosis

9.   List of causes for the elevated PSA and/or the symptoms related to the prostate and the urogenital system in general

10.               Prescription

11.               Recommendations

12.               Diet, if necessary 

13.               During the delivery of the results (usually one work day later) the results are explained and any questions of the patient are answered

14.               Three medical controls are carried out in person, by email, or by telephone in the following three months,

What is necessary?

1.   To be in Bogotá the night before the exam and stay preferably one more night in Bogotá in case anything additional is necessary.  It is indispensable a night of rest in Bogotá as trips affect the vital signs

2.   A simple preparation depending on the time of the appointment

3.   Setting up an appointment in advance

Advantages

*        Detects what raises the PSA

*        Avoids prostate biopsy and the spreading of metastasis which is  a real danger with biopsies

*        Detects five times as many diseases in each of the procedures  

*        No hospitalization is necessary: 3 hours are enough

*        It is fast: the results are available in one day

*        It is painless: there are no needles or incisions

*        It is extremely sensitive: in 1000 patients it detects important pathologies in 99.8% of the cases thanks to the color ultrasound and the computer aided diagnosis. This means that it detects 5 times as many diseases as other exams.

*        Preparation is very simple and depends on the time of the appointment

*        It does not incapacity you. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the exam.

*        It is fast: 3 hours are normally enough

*        It is safe: there is not radiation. No contrast mediums, no chance of transmission of infection.

*        It avoids unnecessary surgeries and confirms when surgery is really necessary      

*        It avoids infertility problems caused by unnecessary and extreme processes in the prostate.

*        It avoids impotence caused by extreme and unnecessary processes in the prostate.

*        It avoids bladder and fecal control problems caused by unnecessary surgery in the prostate.

*        Avoids painful, dangerous and expensive exams such as biopsies, urographies, cystoscopies, etc.

*        Includes recommended treatment. We recommend the course of action to take and prescribe the treatment which is not highly specialized.

*        The biggest part of our diagnosis is in color. We observe in ultrasound the tumors, the kidney stones, gall stones, cysts, etc., while conventional exams only “presume” these illnesses.

*        The report in images on CD remains intact for more than 200 years. It can be sent by email, copied any number of times and kept in your computer. The report on CD is more practical, private and safer to store. The space that it occupies is minimal and can be transferred to your computer.

REASONS TO AVOID PROSTATE BIOPSY:

  1. It is dangerous, painful, incapacitating, with serious consequences and can cause metastasis, septicemia, and even death
  2. The chance of its detecting cancer in minimal as the tissue sample obtained by the needles is less than 1% of the average prostate in the patients in which it is taken
  3. If cancer is detected, the possibility of metastasis increases considerably because of :
    • The inflammatory reaction produced by the needles  
    • The possibility of perforating the capsule of the tumor causing metastasis

THE BIOPSY IS NOT INDISPENSABLE AND MUCH LESS IS IT URGENT

 Preparation for the Prostate C.M.P.

1.   Be in Bogotá from the night before the exam

2.   Eat a bland diet the night before the exam

3.   The day of the exam, not consume anything except for a liter of water which should be drunk 10 minutes before the exam, without urinating until after the examination of the bladder.

4.   Not take any medicine the day of the exam unless it is indispensable (Ask if it can be taken beforehand)

5.   Have a travad (or similar) intrarectal enema (not oral) of 1 liter 3 hours before the appointment, holding it 15 minutes before releasing.

6.   Immediately after releasing the enema a thorough cleaning of the anus with abundant soap and water, preferably showering. If evacuation is repeated, a cleaning of the anus with soap and water should be repeated. There should be no remains of fecal material or toilet paper.

7.   If the patient uses contact lenses, they should bring the case and liquid as they may need to remove them briefly.

8.   Not use talcum powder or cologne except for underarm deodorant.

9.   Trim the hair in genital area with scissors

10.    Bring any imaging exams   carried out in the last year (older than that are useless)

11.    Bring laboratory exams carried out in the previous month (older than that are no good)
