Cancers and Conditions We Treat

Recent advances in genetics give us a better understanding of prostate cancer and its treatment options. Our oncologists, surgeons, nurses and caregivers will help you choose the right treatment option for you. 

Your care plan will depend on which type of prostate cancer you have. Prostate cancer types include:

  • Adenocarcinoma, the most common form of prostate cancer (at least 95% of cases). This type has a very high survival rate, especially when detected early through screening.
  • Transitional cell (or urothelial) carcinoma, which usually starts in cells in the urethra or bladder.
  • Small cell carcinoma, which is very rare and very aggressive.
  • Large cell carcinoma, which is extremely rare.
