Diagnostic Questions for Prostate Cancer

- Are you urinating less?
- Have you felt urge to pass urine again, within 2 hours after using the bathroom?
- Is your urine flow weaker?
- Any family history of prostate cancer?
- Have you experienced on-and-off urine flow in the past month?
Treatment of Prostate Cancer
The urologist will confirm the diagnosis with a prostate biopsy and suggest a treatment plan. Tests will usually be performed to determine if the cancer has spread beyond the prostate.
