Did You Know?
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting men in Singapore, accounting for every 1 in 6 cancer cases.  When prostate cancer is diagnosed at an early, localised stage, the 5-year survival rate is close to 100%. This makes timely and accurate diagnosis especially important.

A Prostate Biopsy Is the Most Reliable Way to Confirm Prostate Cancer

When there is a concern for prostate cancer, a biopsy gives you definitive answers. By taking small tissue samples from the prostate, your doctor can accurately determine whether cancer is present.


This allows your doctor to tailor a treatment plan to your diagnosis, helping you take the next step with confidence.

Prostate Biopsy Within 48 Hours. No Hospital Stay Required.

At Tan Urology, your biopsy is performed in-clinic, without the need for hospitalisation. From consultation to procedure, we streamline the process to get you clear answers sooner.
