Advanced Technology
In addition to state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technology, Jupiter
Medical Center offers blue-light cystoscopy, a unique technology to detect
and diagnose tumors in the bladder. This enhanced imaging procedure helps
doctors find bladder tumors more easily than standard cystoscopy, which
can miss some tumors that are too small to see.
The key to the procedure is Cysview®, a contrast solution that accumulates in rapidly growing cells (such as
cancer cells) and turns bright pink or red under a blue light. The benefits
of this advance include:
- Increased visibility of cancerous tissue
- Detection of more bladder lesions than the standard cystoscopy
- Reduction in cancer recurrence by 20 percent and prolonged recurrence-free survival
- Doctors are able to make better diagnostic and treatment decisions
Robotic Surgery
Our program provides patients with state-of-the art, minimally invasive
surgical options, including laparoscopic surgery and robotic assisted
surgery with the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System. The system is
beneficial for performing complex surgeries, providing several advantages
that allow surgeons to perform a more precise operation. High definition,
3-D vision and up to 10x magnification, enable surgeons to see a level
of detail that is far greater than ever before.
