Did a difficult consult with my patient y’day. New diagnosis prostate Ca. He was really struggling to make up his mind about his options. Didn’t worry about keeping to time, took us an hour but in the end he made an informed satisfied choice. Importance of never rushing patients #Cansky #Oncsky

‘It’s good to talk’.
#Cancer & dying is a tough topic. Not your party type of conversation BUT it is good to talk about it.

Why don’t you add ‘death talk’ to your list of New Year resolutions, this year? Even if you are a #CancerMuggle 😁

What do you think??

Precision med includes imaging to individualize care. Of 593 biopsy-naive men, 48% had (-) prostate MRIs and were followed. After 3 yrs of monitoring, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 4% of men with negative MRIs. Avoiding biopsies can be considered if MRI is (-)
Oncological Safety of MRI-Informed Biopsy Decision-Making in Men With Suspected Prostate Cancer
This cohort study assesses the feasibility and safety of a community-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic strategy in men with suspected prostate cancer using 3-year active monitoring.

Screening catches early signs of cancer in people without symptoms and saves lives by finding cancer at an earlier stage, or preventing it.
