If you live in Ontario Canada, there are no GU oncologists there. Medical oncologist are the only doctors available. There was one genito urinary oncologist in Vancouver.
Canada treats prostate cancer patients quite differently than the United States, some procedures are just not available.

Protate Cancer in Canada gets only 2-3 % of the funding breast cancer does in Canada ....despite PC killing more people ! Got to love Canada ! Land of the Woke even in research.

Good to know about genito-urinary oncology. Thanks for the info!
As I mentioned, I'm being treated by a radiation oncologist (and team). They're part of a multidisciplinary Cancer Centre and also teach at the university medical school. I've found them very up-to-date on the latest PCa treatments and best practices (comparable to what I read here from U.S. cancer patients). My new RO did a fellowship at Harvard Medical School before coming back to Canada.
