Hello and thank you for your enquiry,

It will often be standard practice to request a CT scan amongst other investigations, so that nothing is missed and the doctors can accurately assess and decide on the stage of the cancer.

This helps them plan the most appropriate treatment moving forward. We have information on our website about

tests for prostate cancer and also explains how doctors work out the stage of prostate cancer

I hope that this reply helps,

Best wishes,

Vanda
