If you or someone close to you has advanced prostate cancer, you may be hearing about newer treatments such as Actinium-225 PSMA therapy. This emerging approach uses targeted alpha radiation to deliver powerful treatment directly to PSMA-positive cancer cells, and researchers are studying whether it could help people whose cancer has become resistant to other … Read more
If you have prostate cancer and have been told your cancer is PSMA-positive, you may have heard about PSMA radioligand therapy as a treatment option. Researchers are now exploring whether you could receive this treatment earlier in your care journey, rather than only after several other treatments have been tried. If you have metastatic, PSMA-positive … Read more
If you’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you may wonder why two men with a similar PSA, Grade Group and cancer stage can respond differently to treatment. Part of the answer lies in the biology of the cancer itself. Molecular tests can examine changes in your tumour’s DNA or gene activity that are not visible … Read more
ctDNA could eventually give you and your doctors a clearer picture of what is happening after prostate cancer treatment. By looking for genetic material released by cancer cells, it may help you understand whether there are early molecular signs of residual disease, even when PSA results still appear reassuring. For now, PSA remains the main … Read more
If you have a prostate biopsy, the tissue collected can help your doctor determine whether cancer is present and how aggressive it appears. Traditionally, a pathologist examines your tissue under a microscope and assigns a Gleason score and Grade Group, but different pathologists can sometimes assign different grades to the same tissue. With digital pathology, … Read more
If you are having a prostate MRI, you want your scan to provide clear information about whether an area looks suspicious. AI may help your radiologist identify suspicious areas and assess your risk of clinically significant prostate cancer more consistently. AI could also help your radiologist by acting as a second set of eyes, while … Read more
Could micro-ultrasound make your prostate biopsy more precise? It gives your urologist detailed, real-time images of your prostate, helping them target areas that look suspicious. MRI is still recommended before biopsy, but micro-ultrasound could give you another option in the future. The 2025 OPTIMUM trial found that a micro-ultrasound-guided biopsy strategy was non-inferior to MRI-guided … Read more
Could your genes help you understand your prostate cancer risk? Researchers are exploring genetic tests that could help you know when you may need screening or further tests. In the BARCODE1 study, men with higher genetic risk had MRI and biopsy even when their PSA was not high. The results are promising, but more research … Read more
If you’re considering robotic prostate surgery, or you’re already recovering from the operation, you may be wondering whether you’ll still be able to have an orgasm. In many cases, you can, although it may feel different from before. Because the prostate and seminal vesicles are removed during radical prostatectomy, you will no longer ejaculate semen, … Read more
If you are worried that robotic prostate surgery could make your penis look or measure shorter, this can happen, particularly during the early months of recovery. Changes in tissue position and fewer erections are thought to contribute. For some men, penile length improves as healing and erectile function recover, although persistent changes can occur. Your … Read more
