Diagnosis and Treatment

The right diagnosis is vital in enabling us to advise the best possible treatment.

Tests that we use to check for prostate cancer include:

• Prostate screening
• A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test to help diagnose and manage prostate problems.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography (CT), both of which can look at the prostate in detail.

Among the treatments we can offer for prostate cancer are:

• Prostate surgery - A procedure that involves reducing the size of the prostate gland.
• Radical prostatectomy - This is the removal of the entire prostate gland and is carried out for patients with confined prostate cancer.
• Cryotherapy - Aims to get rid of prostate cancer by actually freezing the prostate cells.
