Uro-Oncology - FAQ

Prostate cancer is commonly detected through:

• PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood testing
• Digital rectal examination
• Multiparametric MRI of the prostate
• TRUS-guided prostate biopsy for confirmation

Treatment options depend on the stage and risk category and may include:

• Active surveillance (for early, low-risk cancer)
• Radical prostatectomy (including robotic-assisted surgery)
• Nerve-sparing surgery to preserve sexual function
• Hormonal therapy
• Radiation therapy (IMRT, IGRT)
• Chemotherapy or targeted therapy for advanced cases

Personalized treatment planning ensures the best balance between cancer control and functional outcomes.
