Understanding your care
Dr. Manpreet’s surgical expertise includes uro-oncology through open, laparoscopic and robotic approaches. His academic work includes research on bladder tumours and renal masses.
Review of the diagnosis
Imaging, biopsy and other available reports are reviewed together.
Discussion of options
The site and stage of disease, your health and your priorities inform the discussion.
Ongoing care planning
Surgical care and follow-up are planned alongside other specialties when appropriate.
First establish the diagnosis and extent
Kidney, bladder and prostate cancers need different investigations and treatment plans. Bring the original scans, imaging reports and any biopsy or pathology results to the consultation. Tests help establish what the abnormality is and, if cancer is present, whether it is confined to one area or has spread.
Treatment depends on the cancer and the person
For selected kidney cancers, removing the tumour while preserving part of the kidney may be an option; other situations require removal of the kidney. Prostate cancer options can include surveillance, surgery, radiotherapy or medicines, depending on risk and stage. A recommendation should explain the alternatives and how your general health and priorities affect the choice.
Plan for life after treatment
Before deciding, ask how treatment might affect kidney function, urinary control, sexual function and everyday activity. Discuss whether other specialists should be involved and what follow-up will be needed. A second opinion can be useful when comparing major treatment options; keeping copies of scans and pathology makes that discussion easier.
Before your consultation
Bring original imaging, biopsy or histopathology reports, previous treatment records and a medication list. A family member can help you keep track of questions and answers.
