What is prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumour of the prostate gland and the most common cancer in men. The risk rises with age – most cases are diagnosed after the age of fifty. The good news is that a prostate tumour usually grows slowly, and when it is caught at an early stage the chance of a complete cure is high.
That is exactly why regular PSA checks make sense – a simple blood test that can flag a problem before any symptoms appear. You can read more about screening on the PSA prostate screening page.
Symptoms and warning signs
In its early stages, prostate cancer may cause no problems at all. These signs in particular deserve attention:
- Difficult or frequent urination, weak urine stream
- Urge to urinate at night
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely
- Pain in the lower abdomen, lower back or pelvis in more advanced disease
Similar symptoms are also caused by non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. Only a urological examination can tell them apart.
Risk factors
- Age over 50 (from 40–45 if there is a family history)
- Prostate cancer in your father or brother
- Genetic predisposition (e.g. BRCA mutations)
- Being overweight and an unhealthy lifestyle
Diagnosis at our clinic
We provide all the key examinations in one place in Bratislava.
PSA blood test
A simple blood test that detects raised levels of prostate-specific antigen before any symptoms appear.
Urological examination with ultrasound
Initial examination including ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder and testicles, and an examination of the prostate.
Assessment and a plan for the next steps
We go through the results with you in detail and propose the next steps based on the stage and risk level of the findings.
How we help you
We are a diagnostic and consulting facility – cancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) takes place in hospital. We guide you through the whole process.
Complete diagnostics
PSA, ultrasound and fusion prostate biopsy in one place, with no waiting lists or referrals.
Second opinion
Urologic oncology consultation: a 30-minute consultation with a comprehensive examination and review of CT/MRI findings.
Follow-up care
Regular monitoring after treatment and during active surveillance of slow-growing tumours.
Direction to treatment
If surgery or cancer treatment is needed, we prepare you and direct you to a specialised facility. MUDr. Rybár also works at Bory Hospital.
When to see a urologist
- You are over 50 and have never had a PSA test
- There is prostate cancer in your family and you are over 40
- You have noticed blood in your urine or semen
- Your urination is getting worse or wakes you at night
Do not wait for symptoms
Book a PSA test or a urological examination on +421 948 687 667. Appointments are usually available within a few days, and acute cases are seen as a priority.
Frequently asked questions about prostate cancer
We recommend regular checks from the age of 50, or from 40 to 45 if there is prostate cancer in your family.
A raised PSA level does not automatically mean cancer – it can also be caused by inflammation or non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. A urologist assesses the significance of the finding and, if needed, recommends further examinations including a biopsy.
No, we are a private office with no contracts with health insurers. You book directly, without a referral from another doctor, usually within a few days.
