Prostate Cancer Surgery (Radical Prostatectomy)
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Radical prostatectomy
Already chosen your urological cancer surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed prostate cancer surgery (radical prostatectomy)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is prostate cancer surgery (radical prostatectomy)?
Radical prostatectomy removes the prostate to treat selected prostate cancers. It differs from operations that remove only obstructing tissue for an enlarged prostate. Cancer risk, stage and personal priorities help guide the decision.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- How do my PSA, biopsy grade and scans affect whether surgery is appropriate?
- Are surveillance or radiotherapy reasonable options for my cancer?
- Is nerve-sparing suitable, and what urinary or sexual-function changes should I expect?
- What would the pathology and postoperative PSA mean for further treatment?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the psa results with dates alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the urological cancer surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- PSA results with dates
- Prostate biopsy and grade-group report
- MRI and other staging scans already completed
- Urinary-symptom history, previous prostate procedures and current medicines
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
