How is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?

A prostate cancer screening test (digital rectal exam or PSA blood test) will indicate whether a biopsy of the prostate should be done. Based on the results of the biopsy, a Gleason score is determined that will help your oncologist decide whether the prostate cancer is fast or slow-growing.

What are the Stages of Prostate Cancer?

After the biopsy, there may be some additional tests needed to see if the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. Based on those results, a stage is assigned and treatment options are planned.
