To Prepare for Your Prostate Cancer
Discussion
In preparation for your prostate
cancer discussion, please bring with you, or arrange to send in advance,
your pertinent medical records. These records should include:
- Most recent PSA result
- Pathology report from your prostate biopsy
- Results from your most recent CT scan, bone scan and chest X-ray, if
you’ve had them
- List of current medications and medical problems
We would also like you to bring
or send the pathology slides from your prostate biopsy.
The Washington University School of Medicine pathology department will re-read
the pathology slides from your prostate biopsy and confirm the stage and
grade of your cancer diagnosis. The slides must be provided to us by the
patient — we are not able to request them on your behalf.
Washington University physicians are the medical staff of Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children's Hospital
