CLIENT STORY

Early detection of prostate cancer

Background

At his Preventicum assessment, our client mentioned he had been experiencing some urinary symptoms including a weakened urinary stream.

Clinical findings

Their PSA was slightly elevated compared to at his previous visits while the physical examination of his prostate and volume on MRI and ultrasound scans were within normal limits.

Next steps

Our client’s Preventicum Doctor referred them to a Consultant Urologist who confirmed a diagnosis of prostate cancer after a biopsy. They discussed various treatment options in detail with their specialist and opted for a surveillance approach, including regular PSA monitoring and prostate MRI. They are very grateful to the Preventicum team for this early diagnosis.
