Fig. 1 A significantly higher percentage of men were positive for prostate cancer (PCa) (p<0.001) and had a Gleason score≥7 when PSA ranged between 4 to 10ng/ml compared with PSA<4ng/ml [6].

Fig. 5 There is no significant difference between radical prostatectomy (RP) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in terms of clinical disease progression, survival rates, and sexual dysfunction [18].

Fig. 6 Interactive voting indicates that radical prostatectomy (RP) and the combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy are the favoured treatment options for the given case (details outlined in the text).

Fig. 7 Interactive voting shows that radical prostatectomy (RP) and active surveillance are the most chosen treatment options for the given case (details outlined in the text). Luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) were the less favoured options.
