A prostate cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. This guide helps you take the next steps calmly, clearly, and one stage at a time.
Next Steps
What to do first
Understand Your Terms
Understand your key diagnosis terms including Gleason score, Grade Group, PSA levels, MRI findings, and biopsy results.
Confirm Your Risk Category
Work directly with your clinical team to confirm your current risk category and what it means for your prognosis.
Prepare Your Questions
Organize and write down your specific questions and priorities before your next medical appointment.
Identify Next Steps
Identify what requires urgent clinical follow-up versus what can be safely monitored and reviewed routinely.
Clinical Checklist
Questions to ask your doctor
01
What is my exact diagnosis and risk level?
Ask for a breakdown of your Gleason score, Grade Group, and overall risk category to ground your decision-making.
02
Why is Active Surveillance recommended (or not recommended) for me?
Understand the rationale behind active monitoring versus immediate intervention based on your specific profile.
03
What tests will I need, and how often?
Clarify your monitoring schedule, including the frequency of PSA tests, repeat MRIs, and follow-up biopsies.
04
What changes in results would trigger a treatment discussion?
Identify clear clinical thresholds or triggers (e.g., PSA velocity, MRI changes) that would indicate it's time to act.
05
Should I seek a second opinion now?
Confirm if expert review of your pathology slides or imaging with a specialized center is advisable before proceeding.
