What Happens After A Prostate Cancer Diagnosis?

Prostate cancer is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it can develop without any symptoms. In fact, almost 70% of cases in Malaysia are only diagnosed in the late stages. What does this mean for men who receive a prostate cancer diagnosis? How far have we come in treating the cancer itself but also supporting these men with their mental health? Find out from consultant urologist Dr Peter Ng and registered counsellor Kelly Lai from Subang Jaya Medical Centre.
