Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer - Preparing for surgery

How can you prepare for prostate cancer surgery? 

Your urologist will perform a comprehensive medical workup including blood tests, exams and scans to see if you are suitable for surgery and advise you on the risks involved. This treatment recommendation is often based on consensus by a group of different specialists (tumour board) which weighs the pros and cons of every treatment strategy. 

Before surgery, the anaesthesia team will also assess your fitness for surgery and advise you on various aspects of general anaesthesia and pain control after surgery. Specialist nurses will also provide pre-surgery counselling.
