The nationally renowned surgeons at New Jersey Center for Prostate Cancer and Urology (NJCPCU) are opening a new facility at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch. The surgeons of NJCPCU bring for the first time the state-of-the-art robotic prostatectomy procedure in Monmouth County-area prostate cancer patients. 

NJCPCU is home to Drs. Vincent Lanteri, Michael Esposito and Mutahar Ahmed, urological surgeons specializing in robotic prostatectomy -- the leading-edge prostate cancer technique. They have performed the most robotic prostatectomy procedures in the state of New Jersey with more than 800 surgeries performed. Through this technique, risks and complications are reduced, recoveries are easier and shorter, and results are better. For instance, long-term incontinence and impotence are much less likely, there is less pain and risk of infection, the procedure is considered "bloodless" and the return to normal activity is much quicker.

One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Each year, an estimated 234,460 men nationwide will be diagnosed including more than 7,720 who live in New Jersey.

Lanteri and Esposito have earned a reputation among the patient and medical communities alike as trailblazers in the specialty of Robotic Prostatectomy. The doctors have performed the most procedures of this kind in New Jersey and literally "wrote the book" on the topic as they prepare to launch the first-ever textbook of Robotic Urology Surgery in 2007. The pair has also been voted among the best doctors by New Jersey Monthly, New York Magazine and selected by Castle Connolly as "Top Doctors for Cancer in America." The teachers to the surgeons, they are among the elite physicians who train other surgeons throughout the United States and Europe on how to perform Robotic Prostatectomy.

"We are thrilled and honored to offer for the first time the life-saving capabilities of robotic prostate cancer surgery to Monmouth County-area patients," said Dr. Lanteri. "Our mission is to touch as many lives as possible with this cutting-edge technique. We've already saved hundreds of lives and we look forward to saving hundreds, even thousands, more in the years to come."

The new facility represents the rapidly expanding NJCPCU practice including an office currently located at 5 Summit Ave. in Hackensack. Additional information is available on the New Jersey Center for Prostate Cancer and Urology web site at www.roboticurology.com.
