Today’s “Prostate Cancer and You” podcast features Dr. Jean Joseph, chairman of the department of urology at the University of Rochester Medical Center and keynote at the May 2025 MPCC Symposium. In this conversation with host Jordan Rich, Dr. Joseph furthers his keynote topics, discussing the history, benefits, and future development of robotic surgery for prostate cancer. The technology, initially developed for cardiac surgery, is less invasive than traditional surgery and has significantly reduced complications and side effects, allowing for a quicker recovery.
