Prostate cancer treatment · Alpharetta and Roswell
Prostate cancer treatment, planned with our urologists in Alpharetta.
A high PSA, an MRI, or a biopsy result can leave you looking for a prostate cancer doctor who will explain the path in plain words. Our urologists at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700, Roswell, review the findings with you and discuss the treatments Advanced Urology actually offers.

How does a high PSA lead to prostate cancer treatment?
A high or rising PSA is not a cancer diagnosis; the usual path is a repeat blood test when it would help, sometimes an MRI, and a biopsy if our urologists advise one. An MRI-fusion prostate biopsy is one of the approaches used at Advanced Urology. The treatment conversation starts after those results are in, and high PSA explains those earlier steps in more detail.
What prostate cancer treatments does Advanced Urology offer?
Options depend on the biopsy, the PSA and your overall health, and can include close monitoring, surgery, and radiation approaches such as seed implants, which our urologists discuss when they fit. Robotic prostate surgery is available through Advanced Urology, and Dr. Rut Patel, Advanced Urology’s Director of Robotic Surgery, holds clinic in this building. Every treatment has risks, which are reviewed with you before anything is scheduled.
Is PSMA PET part of the plan?
PSMA PET is a type of imaging used in some prostate cancer workups to look for disease beyond the prostate. PET/CT is among the imaging services Advanced Urology offers, and our urologists will say whether that study is being offered or coordinated in your case, rather than ordering it automatically. If it is recommended, you will hear why and how the appointment is arranged.
What happens at a prostate cancer visit at this office?
Bring the PSA history, any MRI, and the pathology report, not a summary alone. Our urologists go through those materials with you, examine you when it is appropriate, and outline the next step, whether that is more imaging, surgery, radiation or monitoring. Second-opinion visits are booked the same way as other appointments; call 678-344-8900 or book online.
When is prostate cancer an emergency?
Prostate cancer planning is usually done in the office, not in an emergency department. Go to an emergency room, or call 911, if you cannot urinate, if you have fever or chills after a biopsy, or if you have heavy bleeding or clots. After emergency care, call us so the follow-up can be arranged at this office.
Who will I see for prostate cancer treatment?
Dr. Herman Bagga, Dr. Rut Patel and Dr. Kushan Radadia see prostate cancer patients at this Alpharetta / Roswell office, with physician assistants and a nurse practitioner beside them. If you were referred to one of them by name, say so when you book. Adults from Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Crabapple and Mountain Park are seen at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700, Roswell.
How to prepare for a prostate cancer visit
Come with the actual PSA printouts, the MRI report and images if you have them, and the pathology, plus your medicine list and insurance card. What to bring is a fuller checklist, including how benefits are checked. We do not list self-pay prices on this site.
