How Is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?

Understanding Your Diagnosis


Treatment Options for Prostate Cancer
Active Surveillance
In selected cases where the cancer is low risk, careful monitoring may be recommended rather than immediate treatment. This involves regular PSA testing, imaging, and follow-up to ensure the cancer remains stable.
Surgery (Robotic Prostatectomy)
Robotic-assisted prostate surgery involves removing the prostate gland and is often recommended where treatment is required. Advanced surgical techniques may be used to optimise cancer control while preserving urinary continence and sexual function where possible.
Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy may be used as an alternative to surgery in certain cases. This involves targeted treatment to destroy cancer cells and may be appropriate depending on the characteristics of the cancer and your individual circumstances.
Other Treatments
Additional treatments may be considered depending on your situation, including hormonal therapy or other approaches where appropriate. These may be used alone or alongside other treatments.
All options will be discussed with you in detail, ensuring that any decision is based on a clear understanding of the potential benefits, risks, and long-term considerations, and is aligned with your individual priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is prostate cancer always life-threatening?
Not always. Many prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not pose an immediate risk. However, some types can be more aggressive, which is why a careful and accurate assessment is essential to understand your individual situation.
Do all prostate cancers need treatment straight away?
No. In some cases, active surveillance may be recommended, where the cancer is carefully monitored rather than treated immediately. This is usually considered for lower-risk cancers and helps avoid unnecessary treatment where it is not required.
How do I know if I need treatment or not?
This depends on several factors, including the type of cancer, how advanced it is, and your overall health. A specialist review of your results will help determine whether treatment is necessary and what the most appropriate approach is.
What is the best treatment for prostate cancer?
There is no single “best” treatment for all patients. The most appropriate option depends on your diagnosis, overall health, and personal priorities. All suitable options will be explained clearly so you can make an informed decision.

How do I choose between surgery and radiotherapy?
Both surgery and radiotherapy can be effective treatments. The choice depends on the characteristics of the cancer, as well as the potential benefits and side effects of each approach. A detailed discussion will help you understand which option is most suitable for your situation.
Will treatment affect my quality of life?
Some treatments can have effects on urinary, sexual, or bowel function. These risks vary depending on the treatment type and individual factors. All potential outcomes will be discussed with you in detail before any decision is made.
Why should I see a specialist?
Prostate cancer treatment decisions can be complex and highly individual. Specialist expertise ensures that your diagnosis is accurately assessed and that all appropriate options are carefully considered before making a decision.
