Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a disease caused by cells growing abnormally in the prostate. It is one of the most common types of cancer affecting men and may not always require treatment. However, while some types of prostate cancer grow slowly, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly. Therefore, all men with suspected prostate cancer should be assessed by a urologist.

The level of aggressiveness (grade) is determined with a biopsy and is an indication of how likely the cancer is to spread quickly. It is also important to determine to extent (stage) of the cancer spread after a diagnosis has been made.

At URODOC, our team uses state of the art medical imaging and biopsy techniques in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. We have extensive experience in the management of prostate cancer and offer a range of treatment and management options, including minimally invasive robotic prostate surgery, focal ultrasound therapy (HIFU) and surveillance.
