Prostate Cancer: Treatment in Beijing

Key test: Multiparametric prostate MRI + PSADiagnosis from $250
Medically reviewed by ChinaMedPass Medical TeamUpdated 1 cited sourceEditorial policy

Short answer

Prostate cancer spans harmless-if-watched to aggressive — so grading (MRI + biopsy) and honest risk stratification decide between active surveillance, surgery and radiotherapy. Peking University First Hospital's urology institute is China's historic leader, with prostate MRI from about $250.

Overview

The central question in prostate cancer is not "how do I treat it" but "does this one need treating at all": low-risk disease is safely surveilled, while higher-risk disease chooses between robotic surgery and modern radiotherapy, with hormonal and novel agents for advanced stages.

In Beijing

Peking University First Hospital houses China's founding urology institute with high-volume robotic prostatectomy; Chinese PLA General Hospital (301) offers comprehensive alternatives including advanced radiotherapy. Multiparametric prostate MRI and biopsy review set up the decision.

Typical costs

  • Multiparametric prostate MRI: from about $250–320
  • Pathology re-review (Gleason/ISUP grading) + written plan: from $400
  • Surgery/radiotherapy: individual quote

Prostate Cancer — frequently asked questions

Can prostate cancer be safely watched instead of treated?

＋

Yes — for low-risk disease, active surveillance is a guideline-endorsed standard that spares many men surgery's side effects. Grading accuracy is everything, though, which is why a pathology re-review plus written plan (from $400) is the single best first investment.
