UCLA study finds robotic-assisted prostate surgery offers better cancer control

Robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer has fewer positive surgical margins than open surgery.Patients who had robotic surgery needed fewer additional cancer treatments afterward.Higher upfront robotic costs may be offset by a reduction of additional cancer therapy costs after surgery due to better cancer control outcomes.
