Alexander von Lichtenberg (1880-1949)
The 2007 Congress of the German Society of Urology and the Professional Association of Urologists is being held in Berlin. It is a fitting occasion upon which to recall an eminent pioneer of modern urology who was based in Berlin: Alexander von Lichtenberg.Urological examinations
Prostate biopsy
Where cancer is suspected, a tissue sample will be taken and examined under a microscope. Your doctor will recommend you for a prostate biopsy (also known as mapping) if there are suspicious or indistinct findings - palpable nodes in the prostate, suspicious areas on the ultrasound scan or a raised PSA level (prostate-specific tumour marker). Early diagnosis is especially important in prostate cancer because it rarely causes symptoms in the early stages.Urological examinations
