Moderated by Mr Alan Crosthwaite and hosted by Epworth Eastern, in this GP education webinar
Dr Henry Yao will cover how to discuss the role of PSA testing with your patients and when to refer to a urologist for further investigation in patients suspected to have clinically significant prostate cancer. An overview on the prostate cancer diagnostic pathway and management options for localised prostate cancer including active surveillance, radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy will assist you to discuss and support your patients through their journey from diagnosis to treatment and cancer survivorship post-treatment.

This will include indications for active surveillance, risk of malignancy and progression, risk of delaying intervention, the indications and role for percutaneous biopsy and options when surgery is required.
