Bring these questions to your next appointment

When you learn you have prostate cancer, you’ll probably have many questions for your cancer doctor at your first visit. Talking about treatment options with your doctors can help you feel confident when making decisions about your care. 

  • What type of prostate cancer do I have, and what stage is it?
  • What health problems can prostate cancer cause?
  • Did I have all the scans I need to learn the stage?
  • What genetic testing do I need for prostate cancer?
  • What are the best treatment options for the type and stage of prostate cancer I have?
  • When can I start treatment?
  • Can I get prostate cancer treatment at MSK close to my home?
  • What are the risks and side effects of prostate cancer treatment?
  • Do I need surgery?
  • Are there new prostate cancer drugs I can try?
  • Do you have a clinical trial that’s right for me?
