April 30, 2007

patient is a 67-year-old male with mild obstructive symptoms and an American Urology Association symptom score of 8.[1] He was noted to have a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 3.2 ng/mL.

He has no other complaints and visits us for an opinion on the treatment of his prostate cancer.
