Prostate Cancer: Treatment

Prostate cancer, often slow-growing and sometimes without early symptoms, is influenced by factors like age and family history. Treatment approaches are highly individualized, ranging from active monitoring (close watching) to surgery, radiation therapy, or various medications, chosen based on the cancer's stage and your overall health. Healthy lifestyle choices can support your well-being throughout this journey.

I am a practicing radiation oncologist with a focus on clinical trials for genitourinary cancer, which includes prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. My goal is to use the latest imaging and radiotherapy technologies to improve treatment results for patients. As the Director of the Genitourinary Program in the Department of Radiation Oncology, I oversee the development and use of the latest treatments and clinical trials so that our team is a leader in radiation therapy. When patients first meet with me, they often express concerns about the safety and effectiveness of new treatment technologies. I take the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and benefits, making sure that they feel informed and confident in their treatment plan. My goal is to provide the latest care in a warm and supportive environment.
