A patient has prostate cancer?

After a patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer what is the name of the person the patient is referred to?

  • Answer:

    Typically, a urologist will treat prostate cancer. However, sometimes a patient will be referred to an oncologist or (if radiation is prescribed) to a radiation oncologist. Best of luck!

An Oncologist is a Doc that specializes in cancer. He/she is up-to-date on the lastest treatments, course of therapy to specific forms of cancer.

Urologist is lead on any prostate problem. the doc can offer, surgery, radiation, cryosurgery, radioactive implants. At present there is no chemo. if the cancer escapes the encapsule surrounding the prostate and invades the lymph nodes near by, you're toast. the disease spreads up your spine and, altho hormone therapy can slow it and paliative medicine can make it more acceptable, you still die. Best thing is to get surgery ASAP. You testicles will be disconnected and the your erectile length will be reduced from 1 to 2 inches inside.

a urologist and if you need further treatment beyond this scope this docter will refer to a specialist for whatever the greater problem may be.
