It is important that patients with diseases like prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) or any other have access to all the existing information so they can choose the best treatment for their particular case. In most cases, more than one therapy is possible. The countless sources of information available, especially online, are not always reliable or intelligible. Patients may feel “lost” and unsure of the best solution. Sometimes, it is not even possible to understand what elements should be considered to underscore a certain decision or treatment. They are often, therefore, faced with dilemmas they cannot resolve.
Doubts may exist relative to:
- Prostate cancer screening, early diagnosis of the disease, issues that “the prostate” may cause, how diseases of this organ should be diagnosed, when prostate tests should be done, the relationship between the prostate and sex, and what the best treatment for prostate cancer or enlargement is;
- The ability or willingness of doctors to explain all aspects involved in a treatment decision;
- In some other cases, empathy towards patients may not be ideal or patients may not feel comfortable or safe with certain guidance given by their doctors.
Often, therefore, a second opinion from another doctor is required.
In these cases, it is essential to seek doctors that have a lot of experience in treating the disease in question, are knowledgeable and experienced in the treatment and monitoring of patients, have treated patients for many years but who are also up to date and abreast of the latest methods related to the diseases in question.
At the Instituto da Próstata, you will find professionals who have all of these characteristics in relation to the diseases of these organs.

Patient and Relative Testimonials
After a high PSA test, a biopsy confirmed the worst scenario – prostate cancer. Dr. José Santos Dias calmed my nerves about the treatments and the prognosis. I did the right treatment at the right time, because I was lucky to find the right doctor. I did brachytherapy ... and returned to living life normally... cancer free. It’s a marvel of technology and science.

I couldn’t believe it when my incontinence disappeared!! If you’ve never had it, it’s hard to know what bladder leakage feels like. Thanks to the talents of Dr. José Santos Dias, I had a small operation and was able to return home on the same day. The problem was over after a day. Thank you so much.
