Does anyone have any knowledge about previous TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery making Radical Prostatectomy (RP) surgery difficult?
I have been diagnosed with a Gleason 7 (unknown grade arrangement) , Stage T2c, N0, Mx with a post TURP PSA of 2.01.
I was told, initially, that the treatment options would probably be RP or Radiotherapy. Brachytherapy would probably not be suitable for me, I was also told.
After having an MRI scan + MRI Spectroscopy I have been recommended to have HT with RT. I was told that RP surgery would be difficult because I have had a TURP operation.
Would be interested to know if anyone heard of this before.
