Prostate Cancer: 85 Questions to Ask Your Urologist is a practical, patient-friendly guide designed around the questions men and their families commonly ask during urology consultations.A diagnosis of prostate cancer-or even the possibility of one-can generate a huge number of questions. What does a raised PSA really mean? How reliable is MRI? Do you actually need a biopsy? What does Gleason 3+4 or 4+3 mean? Is active surveillance safe? Should you choose surgery or radiotherapy? What happens if the PSA rises after treatment? And what changes when prostate cancer becomes advanced or metastatic?Drawing on real-world clinical discussions, consultant urological surgeon Mr Antoine Kass-Iliyya answers these questions in clear, accessible language while explaining the reasoning behind important decisions.The book guides readers through the full prostate cancer pathway, including: PSA and PSA densityMRI and PI-RADS scoringTransperineal prostate biopsyGleason score and Grade GroupsLocalised and intermediate-risk prostate cancerActive surveillanceRobotic radical prostatectomyRadiotherapy and hormone treatmentHigh-risk and locally advanced prostate cancerMetastatic prostate cancerPSA recurrence after treatmentPSMA PET imagingTreatment side effects, continence and sexual functionLifestyle, diet and commonly asked questions about living with prostate cancerRather than simply presenting lists of treatments, the book is structured around realistic patient consultations and the decisions that arise at each stage.
