We’re committed to offering pioneering treatments and exceptional care for conditions affecting men’s health, including prostate or testicular cancer, male fertility and urological problems.

Prostate Cancer

1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer, but all too often, they find out by complete chance, too late.

Primarily, the best way to look for prostate cancer remains the simple blood test, PSA. However, prostate cancer can present with symptoms when more advanced including:

• Frequent urination, especially at night

• Difficulty starting or stopping urination

• Weak or interrupted urine flow

• Pain or discomfort during urination

• Blood in urine or semen

• Erectile dysfunction

Regular screening tests can help to identify the early signs of cancer, prevent prostate cancer and save lives.

The PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test is the standard of care for screening in prostate cancer. Your health care provider will draw blood and then possibly perform a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam).

If your PSA is elevated above 3 or 4, your GP or consultant may order further testing such as Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and or a prostate biopsy.

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer arises from the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within one or both testicles, a pair of male reproductive glands located within the scrotum. If left unchecked, testicular cancer can develop into malignant tumours, causing a wide range of health risks.

Testicular cancer is often detected through self-examination. Early symptoms can be subtle, so regular self-checks are crucial to identify cancer early. The most obvious symptom of testicular cancer is a painless lump in the scrotum, or a change in shape and size of a testicle.

How is testicular cancer diagnosed?

Diagnosis of testicular cancer typically involves a combination of approaches:

• Physical Exam: The doctor will feel the testicles for lumps or abnormalities.

• Ultrasound: An ultrasound of your testes creates images that can be used to detect abnormalities.

• Blood Tests: Certain blood tests may be used to support a cancer diagnosis.

• Biopsy: A small tissue sample may be extracted from the testicle for laboratory analysis to confirm cancer.
