Treatments
Hannu Nurmio was aware that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in older men. However, after the diagnosis was confirmed, he had many questions: How serious is this? How aggressive is the tumor? What would be the best treatment?
When rock musician Hannu “Tuomari” Nurmio, 73, learned that his PSA values were elevated, he decided to go for an MRI scan, just in case. The scan revealed a tumor in his prostate, suspected to be cancerous. This was soon confirmed with a needle biopsy.
Nurmio sought the services of Docrates Cancer Center, because he wanted a second opinion on the nature of the tumor and believed in Docrates’ expertise.
– I knew that Docrates would be the pinnacle of expertise, even internationally, Hannu Nurmio says.
