Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
Many of them come to me to talk about prostate cancer risk assessment.
Some people come with urinary tract symptoms such as having trouble urinating, excessive urination at night or having to rush to go to the toilet, among others.
A good proportion of men come with a diagnosis of prostate cancer and they're not sure what to do about it. They come to me to discuss their condition and get a second opinion, look at further risk analysis and talk about the various options that I could offer.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
One of the main things that I do is prostate cancer diagnosis using MRI to assess prostate cancer. I offer an MRI-targeted biopsy service for significant prostate cancers.
In terms of management options for men with prostate cancer, I do active surveillance and focal therapy and also quite a bit in decision-making by supporting them to make critical decisions about which localised prostate cancer treatment they want.
I lead the prostate MDT for The Harley Street Clinic.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
My main areas of subspecialist interests are prostate cancer diagnosis and assessment, decision support, active surveillance and focal treatment for mostly localised prostate cancer.
In addition to the above, I also focus on younger patients, young adults or adolescents who present with primary problems that need assessment.
