Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among American men. Fortunately, survival rates are excellent, and new less invasive surgery and advanced treatment options offer enhanced quality of life.
Our approach includes minimally invasive surgical techniques and advanced treatment options to treat the cancer while addressing quality of life concerns such as urinary incontinence and sexual impotency.
Prostate cancer affects one in every six men in the U.S. Roughly 90% of all prostate cancers are detected in the early stages when tumors are confined within the prostate, making the cure rate promising. Some prostate cancers are more aggressive than others. If those aggressive tumors are untreated and allowed to grow, they can spread to other parts of the body, causing the cure rate to drop dramatically.
Talk with your doctor to see whether a prostate-specific antigen blood test (PSA) is recommended for early detection of prostate cancer.
Treatment options for prostate cancer include surgery, radiation therapy using advanced technology, clinical trials, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy.
