Perfectly summed up. Totally agree with you that out-of-context results can be very distressing, quite often unnecessarily. I’ve had similar experiences in my practice too. Once that confidence is lost, it takes a lot to rebuild it

Did a difficult consult with my patient y’day. New diagnosis prostate Ca. He was really struggling to make up his mind about his options. Didn’t worry about keeping to time, took us an hour but in the end he made an informed satisfied choice. Importance of never rushing patients #Cansky #Oncsky

‘It’s good to talk’.
#Cancer & dying is a tough topic. Not your party type of conversation BUT it is good to talk about it.
Why don’t you add ‘death talk’ to your list of New Year resolutions, this year? Even if you are a #CancerMuggle 😁
What do you think??

“It was the nudge that all men need”
Gentle Boxing Day reminder to all men over 40 out there, get checked & get tested…reminder to their better halves, nudge them! Early diagnosis = better outcomes

Precision med includes imaging to individualize care. Of 593 biopsy-naive men, 48% had (-) prostate MRIs and were followed. After 3 yrs of monitoring, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 4% of men with negative MRIs. Avoiding biopsies can be considered if MRI is (-)
