The Prostate Center is aimed to provide faster and more effective diagnosis and treatment of prostatic diseases (prostatic hyperplasia, elevation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and prostate cancer)

Do you wonder if your symptoms are consistent with prostatic hyperplasia? Or do you want to release your pain?
Urinary problems caused by prostatic hyperplasia are not aging-related natural changes. In Korea the number of patients with prostatic hyperplasia is increasing as population ages. This disease not only lowers the quality of life, but also results in various complications if not treated properly.

Do you suspect you have a prostate cancer considering the elevated PSA?
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level rises with increasing age, but mostly remain in normal upper limit of 4.0ng/ml and if this level soars up abnormally, prostate problems may be suspected.
If PSA increases or a tumor in the prostate is felt through a rectal examination, prostate biopsy is performed for accurate diagnosis.
“If you come to AMC Prostate Center, you can receive prostate biopsy on the same day.”
However, it may not be available if anticoagulant is administered.

Do you have a family history of prostate cancer or do you suspect a prostate cancer?
All male adults aged over 50 or aged over 40 and a family history of prostate cancer need to receive counseling about prostate cancer and a regular monitoring of PSA level for obtaining basic information and early detection, preventing the spread of prostate cancer or its worsening to untreatable state.
The Prostate Center provides a one-stop system in which patients can receive examinations and test results on the same day.

Are you looking for a competent doctor after being diagnosed with prostate cancer?
If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, you need to find experienced medical team capable of performing the best treatment services and surgery for you. Remember that AMC performed more surgeries of ten most common cancers than any other 35 hospitals in Korea.
