Prostate cancer pathways range from active surveillance to robotic prostatectomy, IMRT, brachytherapy, and hormone therapy. India offers international-standard care at multiple budget-friendly hospitals, with written package comparisons and video consultation for Gleason score, PSA, and MRI-based decisions.

Video consultation for treatment choice
Prostate cancer often involves a genuine choice between surgery and radiation. Video consultation with the uro-oncologist or radiation oncologist helps you understand:
- Nerve-sparing surgery options and incontinence risk discussion
- IMRT vs brachytherapy for your risk group
- Active surveillance criteria if low-risk
- Recovery timeline before flying home
Free second opinion before any travel commitment.
