Diagnosis and treatment

The right diagnosis is vital in enabling our consultants to advise the best possible treatment plan tailored to you. Here are some of the diagnostic tests we use to help identify and diagnose prostate cancer:

• 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.

The procedures we offer to treat prostate cancer include:

• 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.
