Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Am I at a greater risk for prostate cancer?

At what age should I start to think about screening for prostate cancer?

If my biopsy shows some cancer cells, what does that mean?

If I get my blood test, and it is not normal, what other things could I have besides prostate cancer?

What is a biopsy, and how is it done?

What are the side effects or risks of each treatment?

Ask about all treatment options: close monitoring and follow-up visits, radiation, or surgery to remove the prostate.
