The majority of prostate cancers tend to be caught early. If you catch the cancer before it spreads outside the prostate, the 5-year survival rate is nearly 100%. Our specialists use leading-edge technologies like CT scans, PET scans, and bone scans to provide an accurate diagnosis quickly, so you can begin treatment right away. The sooner you begin treatment, the higher the chances of success. Find out more about prostate cancer diagnosis.
We offer an array of treatment options in one place, making the process easier and faster for you. We also maintain an extensive, confidential database of patients to track their long-term well-being for research purposes. We use this research to make sure your treatment is successful and to connect patients with survivors for stories of hope and encouragement. Get more information on prostate cancer treatment.
