Prostate Cancer

Our Prostate Cancer Program

  • Less-invasive scanning procedures.
  • Monthly support group for patients and their loved ones.

Treating Prostate Cancer

Because prostate cancer has a low mortality rate, many men who are diagnosed don't require treatment. Those who do need treatment most often undergo radiation. Your doctor will discuss options with you and decide what's best for your individual diagnosis.
