Prostate Cancer Surgery: Clear Information Before You Decide
A guide to prostate cancer surgery, robotic prostatectomy, treatment choices, risks and recovery written by Mr Anthony Bates, Consultant Urological Surgeon.
Written by a surgeon, built for patients
ProstateCancerSurgery.co.uk is an educational resource written by Mr Anthony Bates FRCS FEBU, Consultant Urological Surgeon. It is designed to give patients clear, evidence-based information about prostate cancer surgery, treatment choices, risks and recovery.
"Most prostate cancer information online is either too vague to be useful or written to reassure rather than inform. This site is written by a practising consultant urological surgeon. The aim is not to steer every man towards surgery. It is to help men understand what they are facing, what their options are and what each option actually involves."
Clear information before you decide
Please see treatment sections and FAQs
A prostate cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of information very quickly. PSA results, MRI scans, bone scans, PSMA scans, biopsy findings, Gleason scores, treatment options, continence, erections, recovery and recurrence can all appear in the same conversation.
This website is designed to explain prostate cancer treatment clearly, written by a practicing UK urologist with a specialist interest in prostate cancer and high volume robotic prostatectomy.
It covers active surveillance, robotic prostatectomy, radiotherapy, focal therapy, salvage therapy, recovery, risks and the common questions men ask before choosing treatment.
This site does not replace a consultation. It is here to help patients understand the problem, ask better questions and make informed decisions.
Private consultations are provided through Prostatology, the private practice of Mr Anthony Bates, Consultant Urological Surgeon.
