Patient Information for Caribbean Patients Accessing Prostate Treatment in Canada

Caribbean Urology Innovations helps men across the Caribbean access advanced prostate care through our Toronto clinical facilities in Canada. The process begins with a consultation and medical review, so we can better understand your diagnosis, symptoms, previous testing, and treatment goals before recommending next steps.

Our goal is to make the process clear, organized, and manageable, especially for patients who may need to travel for advanced diagnostic assessment or treatment.

How the Process Works

Request a Consultation

The first step is to contact CUI and provide basic information about your diagnosis, symptoms, or reason for seeking care. This may include an elevated PSA, a prostate cancer diagnosis, enlarged prostate symptoms, or a need for a more precise prostate biopsy.

Medical Records Review

Before any recommendation can be made, our team will review your relevant medical information. This may include:

PSA history
Prostate MRI reports and images
Previous biopsy reports
Pathology reports
Urology consultation notes
Medication history
Previous prostate procedures or treatments
General health history

This review helps determine whether additional testing, biopsy, focal therapy, or BPH treatment may be appropriate.

Consultation and Next Steps

After your records are reviewed, you may be scheduled for a consultation to discuss your options. The goal is to help you understand whether you may be a candidate for advanced diagnostic or treatment options, and whether travel to Toronto, Canada is recommended.

Travel Planning When Needed

If treatment or biopsy in Toronto is appropriate, CUI will help outline the next steps so you know what to expect before making travel arrangements.

Details may vary depending on the procedure, your medical history, and whether further testing is required before treatment planning can be finalized.

Care in Toronto, Canada

When advanced diagnostic assessment or treatment is appropriate, CUI may refer patients to our Toronto clinical facilities in Canada. This is where procedures such as transperineal prostate biopsy, MRI fusion-guided biopsy, HIFU, NanoKnife IRE, Rezūm, iTind, and selected HIFU for BPH may be performed.

Patients begin with a consultation and medical records review before travel is recommended. This helps ensure that the trip is medically appropriate, organized, and based on a clear plan.

Travelling From the Caribbean

Patients should wait for medical review before booking travel. Once your case has been assessed, CUI can help outline what to expect, what records are needed, and what the next steps may involve.

Medical Records We May Request

The first step is a phone call with our medical coordinator. This helps us understand your situation, answer basic questions, and determine whether you may be a potential candidate for further review.

If your case appears suitable for assessment, we will ask you to send relevant medical records by email. These records help our clinical team review your case and determine what next steps may be appropriate.

For prostate cancer or biopsy assessment, we may request:

PSA test results
Prostate MRI report
MRI images, if available
Biopsy pathology report
Previous biopsy details
Urologist or oncologist consultation notes
Treatment recommendations already received

For BPH or urinary symptoms, we may request:

PSA results
Prostate ultrasound or MRI reports
Medication list
Symptom history
Previous procedure history
Urology notes
Flow test or bladder scan results, if available

Do not worry if you do not have everything. Send what you have, and our team will let you know if more information is needed.
