Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. Prostate cancer is the fifth most common cancer among men in Malaysia. It is generally a slow-growing cancer with good outcomes when it is detected early and has not spread to other parts of the body. Today, we look at advances in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, and explore whether it has already become a manageable chronic condition for most men.
