In this episode:

  • Major advances in external beam radiotherapy means that it achieves similar long term outcomes to radical prostatectomy with markedly less incontinence, erectile dysfunction at lower costs since it’s fully funded by Medicare
  • This must-listen-to podcast will definitely change the way GPs manage patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer
  • All patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer should be assessed by a radio-oncologist for a fully informed decision
  • We should not just rely on the urologist to recommend the most suitable treatment options
