Portrait of Prostate Cancer Patient
What Our Patients are Saying
"When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2014, I was shocked. I didn’t have any symptoms; I was in great shape; and suddenly, there was this blood test that said I had cancer! It’s now been seven years since I was treated... Life is GREAT!"

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.

Treatment Options

Experts on your care team tailor treatment to your unique needs. We offer many types of treatment for prostate cancer, including the options below.

  • Nerve-sparing surgery
  • Hormone therapy treatment
  • Advanced robotic surgery options
  • Active surveillance for low-risk patients
  • Chemotherapy
  • Androgen deprivation therapy
  • Immunotherapy
  • Molecular targeted therapies
Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer screening can save your life
The test most often used to screen for prostate cancer is called a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA tests are quick, easy and effective at detecting possible problems with the prostate, like cancer. While there are certain risks to screening, the benefits (like catching cancer early) can be lifesaving. If you're between 55 and 69 years old, talk to your doctor about prostate health and schedule a screening today.
