Your doctor might suggest extra treatments like radiation therapy and chemotherapy to help relieve your symptoms. Often, a multidisciplinary team of urologists, radiation oncologists, and oncologists will discuss your case to find the best possible treatment option for you. 

A multidisciplinary team is a group of different healthcare specialists who work together to care for you. For cancer treatment, this team might include doctors who specialise in surgery (like urologists), doctors who give radiation therapy (radiation oncologists), and doctors who give chemotherapy and other medicines (medical oncologists).

By working together, they can create the best treatment plan that fits your needs and supports your health.

It’s important that you, as the patient, are included in these discussions. You have the right to ask questions, share your preferences, and decide what treatment you want - or even choose not to have treatment at all.
