PSA
\nMr. P has a questionable PSA and the healthcare teams are at a
\ndisagreement as to what to tell the patient. If it\u2019s his first PSA

\nthe second test, the physician will either recommend a biopsy or
\nprescribe medication for an enlarged prostate. If his biopsy
\nreturns with a diagnosis of cancer then he would be encouraged
\nthe patient to see an oncologist. Two of the questions he should
\nask would be:
\n1. What stage is my cancer and what is the Gleason score- The
\nphysician will go into detail as to how aggressive it is and how
\nthat relates to prognosis, though that may be a bit difficult to
\ndetermine at the time it is first diagnosed.
\n2. What are my treatment option? What can I expect as far as
\nside effects?- Today a diagnosis of cancer is not necessarily a
\ndeath sentence. There are many treatment options available
\nout there, from radiation, IV chemotherapy, hormone therapy,
\noral chemotherapy, surgery etc.
\nThe possibility of having cancer can be very scary for a patient to
\ndeal with. Mr. P should get written instructions for everything he
