Management choices in prostate cancer

Abstract

The thesis examines two main issues in prostate cancer management. Firstly, the role of imaging modalities including multiparametric MRI prostate and PSMA PET scan in the detection and surveillance of prostate cancer. Secondly, the thesis explores the role of local treatment for men with oligometastatic disease utilising clinical research and critical appraisal of the recent literature. These controversial areas within prostate cancer management are then discussed with regards to future directions and the implications of new technology on patient care.
