Prostate Cancer

Advanced, compassionate care to detect Prostate Cancer early and provide personalized treatment plans

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland—a small organ in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder. It typically develops slowly, and in early stages may cause no symptoms. However, when detected early, prostate cancer is one of the most treatable cancers in men.

Our hospital offers advanced screening, diagnosis, and tailored treatment plans for prostate cancer, supported by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Early-Stage Symptoms:

  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Frequent urination (especially at night)
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Incomplete emptying of the bladder
  • Persistent pain in the hips, back, or pelvis
  • Shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat

Diagnosis Methods

Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)

Physical exam to detect prostate abnormalities

PSA Blood Test:

Measures prostate-specific antigen levels

Biopsy:

Tissue sample collected to confirm cancer; includes Gleason score grading

PSMA PET CT Scan:

PSMA PET CT Scan: Whole-body scan used to detect spread of cancer to bones, lymph nodes, or organs

Early detection can significantly improve outcomes. Screening is especially recommended for men aged 50 and above, or earlier for those with risk factors.
