Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and often grows slowly, so not every patient needs the same treatment – or any treatment at once. A second opinion helps you understand which option fits your results. New City Clinic coordinates assessment and treatment with the urology and oncology teams of partner hospitals in Istanbul.
How the diagnosis is clarified
PSA and a urological examination, a multiparametric prostate MRI, an MRI-targeted (fusion) biopsy with the pathological grade (Gleason / ISUP) and, where needed, a PSMA PET-CT or bone scan to check for spread.
Active surveillance
For low-risk cancer, regular PSA tests, MRI and biopsies – active surveillance – are often the first option recommended by international guidelines.
Treatment of localised cancer
When the cancer is confined to the prostate, the whole prostate can be removed (robotic or laparoscopic radical prostatectomy), or radiotherapy can be given, with hormone therapy where needed. Advanced disease is treated with hormone therapy and other systemic treatments.
Continence and erections
Temporary urinary leakage after surgery is common and improves within months for most men. Erections depend on whether nerve-sparing surgery is possible, your age and your function before surgery; the urologist discusses this openly beforehand.
How to start
Send your PSA history, MRI images, biopsy report and pathology slides if available. The case is reviewed by the tumour board and you receive a written plan; oncology treatment is not priced in advance, the quote follows the plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does every prostate cancer need treatment straight away?
No. In low-risk cancer, active surveillance with regular checks is a recognised option; the decision is made by the tumour board.
Is robotic surgery better than open surgery?
Robotic and laparoscopic surgery mean smaller incisions and often a faster recovery; the most important factor is the experience of the team.
Can I have treatment and follow-up at home?
Yes. Reports are prepared for your own doctor, and follow-up PSA tests can be done at home.
