Free Monthly Informational Seminars

There are several very good options for the treatment of prostate cancer. While this is good news, some men find the decision making process overwhelming and sometimes confusing. At the PCC, we believe in a personalized approach to care where "one size doesn't fit all." Our goal is to educate you on all of your treatment options and help you weigh the pros and cons of each to make the best treatment decision for YOU.

Our free informational seminar will present treatment options for prostate cancer in a clear, unbiased format. Treatments that will be discussed include robotic surgery, HDR (high dose rate) Brachytherapy, external beam radiation therapy, active surveillance (also called watchful waiting or expectant therapy), as well as HIFU, Proton therapy and and NanoKnife therapy. This session will arm you with the information you need to effectively weigh your options by allowing you to compare cure rates, short and long term side effects, modes of treatment delivery and recovery time.

For Support >>  If you are interested in speaking with other men who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer, consider attending our monthly prostate cancer support group (held on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm). This is a free group and open to those regardless of physician or hospital affiliation. Spouses and adult family members are welcome to attend. Our patient navigator can also connect you indivudually if you prefer to speak one-on-one instead of in a group setting.
