Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in adult males. It has a multifactorial aetiology and its presentation varies from an indolent disease managed with surveillance to an aggressive malignancy requiring multidisciplinary treatment. Early diagnosis relies on prostate-specific antigen testing, imaging and prostate biopsy. Curative options for localized disease are guided by adequate image-guided disease stratification. New advances in treatment for advanced stages have prolonged patient survival and quality of life.
