Your Local Experts in Cancer Care

When it comes to prostate cancer and other urological cancers, the doctors at UPNT realize the importance of specialized care. That’s why they are proud to have Dr. Peter Lanasa in Arlington and Dr. Jerry Barker in Fort Worth — both of whom are radiation oncologists at Texas Cancer Specialists (TCS) and have spent the last 15+ years treating thousands of cancer patients across North Texas.

Dr. Lanasa leads the radiation oncology center at Texas Cancer Specialists at USMD Hospital Arlington, and Dr. Barker heads the Texas Cancer Specialists center in Fort Worth. Each is an expert in highly targeted radiation treatments, offering innovative care for prostate cancer and a range of other cancers. At TCS, the radiation oncology team works closely with each patient, crafting personalized care plans aimed at achieving the very best outcomes.

Minimally Invasive Treatments for BPH

Many men experience benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as they age, and it can be a frustrating condition to manage. To help, UPNT offers advanced, minimally invasive solutions to get you back to living comfortably and feeling more like yourself.

One such solution is Prostate Arterial Embolization (PAE), which is a breakthrough treatment that reduces the size of the prostate without surgery. Performed by Dr. Matt Schwenke, an interventional radiologist who has completed more than 600 PAE procedures. This innovative therapy can significantly improve symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty emptying the bladder, all with a shorter recovery time. PAE with Dr. Schwenke is routinely a one-hour outpatient procedure, and patients begin seeing improvements in their urinary stream within two to four weeks.

But BPH treatment doesn’t stop there — UPNT also offers Aquablation therapy, another innovative approach for men with enlarged prostates. Teaming up with USMD hospital, Aquablation combines a high-powered water jet with real-time ultrasound imaging to precisely remove the prostate tissue that’s causing symptoms while avoiding damage to surrounding areas. Some advantages to consider are the following:

• Precision water technology: Aquablation avoids heat, reducing the risk of tissue damage. This preserves ejaculation function in most men after the procedure.
• Real-time ultrasound guidance: Ensures high accuracy during the procedure.
• Quick recovery:
  Patients often experience faster relief with less discomfort.

Both PAE and Aquablation provide men with effective, minimally invasive options for BPH, underscoring UPNT’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge treatments tailored to your needs. UPNT also offers other minimally invasive options such as Urolift and Rezum therapy which can be performed in the office setting.

Relief for Overactive Bladder with InterStim Therapy

If you have an overactive bladder or urge incontinence, you know how disruptive these conditions can be to your daily life. Medications often provide temporary relief, but InterStim Therapy in addition to Axonics Therapy offer a long-term solution. This minimally invasive treatment involves implanting a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the nerves controlling the bladder, helping to restore normal function.

The team at UPNT has  vast experience with sacral modulation therapy, which has helped many patients regain control and experience lasting relief from frequent urination, incontinence, or retention issues. As an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time, these therapies allow patients to stop their overactive bladder medications and their associated side effects. This allows patients to return to their daily lives quickly and comfortably.

Fast Relief from Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are known for causing intense pain, and when you’re dealing with them, you need quick relief. That’s why UPNT offers Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) at USMD Hospital Arlington and the Surgical Centers of North Texas. This non-invasive procedure uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller, passable fragments so you can return to your life sooner. With no cutting or lasers required, the ESWL machine is placed over the body to send shock/sound waves to break up the stones like a small earthquake. At UPNT, you can be sure that you don’t have to wait for treatment and that you receive fast, effective relief when you need it most.

Leading the Way in Robotic Surgery

UPNT’s doctors are pioneers in robotic surgery, having performed over 10,000 robotic procedures since 2002. Today, they proudly offer Single Port Robotic Surgery, a cutting-edge technique that allows for complex surgeries through just one small incision, allowing most patients to be discharged home the same day. Whether it’s prostate cancer, BPH, kidney cancer, or a blocked kidney, this advanced approach means less scarring, quicker recovery, and less downtime for you. The UPNT commitment to using the most advanced technology means you’ll get the best possible care with the least impact on your daily life.
