which treatment is better, ultrasound ablathermic or da vinci robotic
surgery?
so far i have learned that:
it does not involve any cutting like radiation treatment.
if the cancer is found to be near the nerve, they would have more
trouble sparring the nerve and would either terminate the treatment at
my prior request or damage the nerve, whereas surgery would be able to
move the nerve out of the way.
the cost of treatment at the maple leaf center in toronto is $23K, even
if i require the treatment to be terminated due to proximately of the
cancer to the nerve.
