142 verified reviewsProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with over 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year - it often causes no symptoms early on, which is why PSA testing and MRI remain the fastest routes to a clear diagnosis.
An increased need to urinate, especially at night, difficulty starting or stopping, and a weak or interrupted flow.
Needing to strain to start urinating, and a persistent feeling that the bladder has not fully emptied.
Blood in the urine or semen, pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips or thighs, or unexplained weight loss.
For low-risk cancer, regular PSA tests, MRI scans and biopsies monitor the disease closely, avoiding unnecessary treatment.
High-intensity focused ultrasound heats and destroys cancer cells in men with localised prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the gland.
Blocks the effects of testosterone, often combined with radiotherapy or used after surgery to reduce the chance of cells returning.
Robot-assisted prostatectomy (RALP) or external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), matched to the stage and grade of the disease.
A raised PSA or new symptoms deserve fast answers - most patients are seen within a few days.
Multiparametric MRI, followed where necessary by a targeted biopsy, confirms the diagnosis with fewer men needing a biopsy at all.
From active surveillance to HIFU, hormone therapy or surgery - treated by a consultant with a specialist focus on prostate cancer.
