1 in 6 Australian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Most are curable if detected at an early stage by PSA screening combined with MRI, PSMA-PET, genomic tests and trans-perineal image-fusion targeted biopsy. Treatment via robotic surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy or focal therapy is usually curative if delivered at the right time.

Prostate cancer is common, affecting 1 in 6 Australian men. It is a silent killer, meaning it doesn’t cause symptoms until it is incurable. Therefore, men should consider screening with a PSA blood test, at least yearly or 2nd yearly from age 50 years. This allows prostate cancer to be detected whilst it is still curable.

Bladder cancer can develop in men or women of any age. Most are curable via cystoscopy (like removing a polyp via a camera into the bladder). Sometimes further medicine or chemotherapy into the bladder or removal of the entire bladder and creation of a new bladder is required to ensure cure.

Blood in the urine may be visible to the naked eye or only under the microscope. It requires evaluation by a urologist as it may occur for many reasons such as infection, stones, Inflammation, benign prostate enlargement or occasionally cancers of the kidney, bladder or prostate.
