Early detection leads to successful prostate cancer treatment
Background
Our client attended their first Preventicum assessment reporting that they were in good health.
Clinical findings
During their dedicated prostate MRI scan, our Consultant Uroradiologist observed an abnormal lesion and our Sonographers noted that their prostate volume was prominent on ultrasound - all despite their PSA level being low. A same-day referral was made to a Urologist and a biopsy confirmed this was prostate cancer.
Next steps
Thanks to this very early detection, our client was successfully treated using high-intensity focal ultrasound (HIFU), a targeted treatment that avoids surgery or radiation and is particularly safe and effective for early-stage prostate cancer. Regular follow-up monitoring has been reassuring. Notably, the cancer would not have been detected by PSA testing alone, highlighting the benefit of detailed imaging and thorough assessment approach.
Our client is very grateful to the Preventicum team for their early diagnosis, expert care and ongoing support.
