NKI Prostate Cancer Center

What can you expect?

First appointment

Your doctor has referred you to the NKI Prostate Cancer Centre. The diagnosis may already be clear, or your doctor may want to have you examined for a suspicious abnormality. During your first appointment, you will have a conversation with the surgeon and his assistant. This will map out your current symptoms and medical history. A physical examination will also take place. This results in global findings that usually require more research.

Research

If more testing is needed, we will schedule follow-up appointments for additional diagnostic tests.

Team meeting

When all the results of the diagnostic tests are known, your situation will be discussed in a multidisciplinary consultation. This is a consultation with a group of specialists who all specialize in prostate cancer. They will discuss which treatment is best for you.

Conversation treatment plan

The doctor will discuss the treatment plan with you. You will decide together how you will be treated. At the Netherlands Cancer Institute, we think it is important that you have a say in your treatment. You are an equal discussion partner for us.

Treatment

After this, your treatment will start. On average , our patients are treated within the following number of days: 

  1. Radiotherapy treatment:      <22 days
  2. Surgical treatment:                 28-60 days
  3. Treatment with medication:              <21 days  

Aftercare

Of course, we schedule appointments after your treatment to keep a close eye on the follow-up. There is also a lot of attention for supportive care within the Quality of Life Center.
