Prostate Cancer in Auckland
Prostate cancer is a
malignant growth
of cells in the
prostate gland
. The
PSA blood test
is commonly done to screen men for prostate cancer and may often detect cancers before they cause any symptoms.
Prostate biopsy
is used to confirm a cancer diagnosis and assess it. Prostate cancer treatment varies depending on the stage of the disease. In the early stages when the cancer has not spread, surgery and
radiation therapy
are options. Surgery to remove the prostate and some of the tissue around it is called
radical prostatectomy
. Prostate cancer that has spread may be treated with drugs to reduce testosterone levels, surgery to remove the testes, or
chemotherapy
. A
Urologist
will treat prostate cancer.
