it is written in UROLOGY books that If you ejaculate around 20times in a month then the chance of prostate cancer might decrease. it still does not mean that it is the only prevention method for prostate cancer.

If Bohemia scan is positive get bilateral orchidectomy done. If bone scan is negative and disease is confined to prostate with psa less than 20 then get robotic radical prostatectomy.

Urologist•Ludhiana

If psa is 100 then it must have gone into bones. Have you got bone scan report. If it is positive then best is to do androgen ablation either surgically by removing both testis or medically by giving injection, every three months. If it has not gone into bones then you can get robotic radical prostatectomy.

Asked for female, 20 years old from Delhi

I am a 20 year old female. My mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2000, when I was 2 years old. She is very well now. But suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure problem, and some other problems. There have never been any case of breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer in any of my family members from my mother's or father's side. She is the only such case in my family. How much risk am I at of acquiring breast or ovarian cancer, and what prevention should I take? Should I take a BARC test? Or an HPV vaccination?

Asked for male, 71 years old from Kolkata

I am running very high PSA (20-24) for last 5 years. My age is 72. I am quite fit and have no urination problem. Literature and cyber information informs risk of prostate cancer above PSA value of 6. Should I try to bring down psa level and if yes, how?

Urologist•Ludhiana

If psa is high better to get MRI pelvis done. If there is any suspicious lesion on MRI better to get it biopsied. Only biopsy can rule out if you have ca prostate or not.

Your father has metastatic ca prostate.
He requires hormonal therapy first- medical or surgical.
Medical therapy includes 1 injection every 3 to 6 months and caluran 50 mg along with it. Surgical means castration (removing both testis by surgery).
Depending on his response to hormonal therapy he can be planned for further management like chemo, abiraterone etc.
