Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about men's reproductive cancers:
- Am I at greater risk for men's reproductive cancers?
- If so, which type is of most concern to me?
- Do the symptoms vary with the type of cancer?
- What are the primary risk factors?
- What tests will be used to diagnose these cancers in me?
- What are the treatment options for each cancer?
- What are the risks associated with these treatments?
- What is the general prognosis for these cancers?
- What are the chances that these cancers spread to other parts of the body?
- How will I know if the cancer has progressed?
- If I have cancer, are my sons at a greater risk for the cancer?
- What preventive steps can I take to lower my risk of developing these cancers?
