Prostate Cancer

Our Expertise

As a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, our doctors also help develop and improve evidence-based prostate cancer treatment guidelines for patients throughout the country.

Highlights of our prostate cancer program include:
 

• Our leadership and experience in robotic prostate surgery, the largest program of its kind in the western United States with over a decade of experience and more than 8,000 operations performed
• Our surgeons’ expertise in minimally invasive and nerve-sparing prostatectomies, which reduces discomfort and recovery time while preserving urinary and sexual function
• Highly precise radiation therapy delivery that can target the cancer while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, preserving bladder and bowel control functions
• A wide portfolio of drugs that can fight cancer better with fewer side effects
• A dedicated continence recovery program to help men regain urinary function after treatment
• Sophisticated active surveillance monitoring for men with low-risk, slow-growing prostate cancer who do not want immediate treatment
• Ongoing research and clinical trials of promising new therapies
• Long-term survivorship and follow-up program focused on minimizing recurrence risk and improving quality of life
