Learn More >>  Making the Treatment Decision Informational Seminars are offered monthly to provide clear, unbiased information on the treatment options available for prostate cancer. It is our goal to help you make the best treatment decision for you and your family.

Prostate cancer patients must be actively involved in choosing between several equally effective treatment methods. Patients should be encouraged to research the various options and make their decision taking into account their quality of life concerns along with their work and home life schedules. Although a diagnosis of cancer can be an intimidating experience, the more you are informed about the options available to you, the more equipped you will be to make the decision that is best for you.

We encourage you to contact our Patient Navigator at (678) 843-5665 or renee.sevy@emoryhealthcare.org  with any questions regarding treatment options for prostate cancer. We're here to help.
