Ensure men explore ‘all options’ on prostate cancer therapy, MBS says
Doctors should refer patients to a range of specialists to inform their decision-making, new guidance states
Men with prostate cancer should be encouraged to consult with specialists other than surgeons to explore all treatment options, according to new MBS guidance.
Under the latest changes, a patient’s refusal to accept a referral to a radiation oncologist from either their GP or urologist should also be clearly documented in their medical record.
