Prostate Cancer Treatment Center - Zion, IL

Are you looking for a prostate cancer clinic that will treat you with dignity and respect? At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we practice Patient Empowerment Medicine. That means you will be treated with kindness, and given every detail regarding your diagnosis and the corresponding prostate cancer treatments. You will play an active role in planning your own prostate cancer therapy, which will be tailored according to your specific needs and desires. If you live in Zion, IL we have a center right in your town.

One of the things that makes our prostate cancer centers unique is our integrated approach to prostate cancer therapy.  We offer the latest in cutting edge medical technology, but acknowledge that your needs during this time exceed simple medical care. To support you in every aspect of recovery including mental, emotional and spiritual well being we also offer complimentary services such as mind/body medicine, pain management, naturopathic medicine, spiritual support and nutritional support.

Our team of prostate cancer surgeons is top notch, with the medical advancements to back them up.  Our available treatments include the following:

1. Immunotherapy: This prostate cancer therapy utilizes the bodies own immune system to fight cancerous cells. It is non-invasive and does not have the negative side effects of other treatments. It may be used alone, or in conjunction with other prostate cancer treatments such as radiation.
2. Hormone Therapy: This prostate cancer therapy works by depriving cancerous cells of the masculine hormones they need to grow and reproduce. It is often used to reduce the size of tumors so they may be more easily treated.
3. Radiation: We offer several different forms of radiation therapy including Calypso GPS for the Body. This recent innovation in radiation allows for remarkable precision. As a result, surrounding organs and tissues are spared unnecessary damage.
4. Chemotherapy: Whenever possible we utilize Metronomic chemotherapy. This method dispenses the chemotherapy drugs in much smaller doses, spaced out over a longer period of time. This provides prolonged drug levels in the blood, and significantly reduces the severe side effects that this treatment is known for.
5. Prostate Cancer Surgery: When all other options have been exhausted, prostate cancer surgery is still an option. This surgery, called a prostatectomy, involves removing all or part of the prostate gland. Unfortunately side effects often include sexual dysfunction and/or incontinence issues, which is why it is only used as a last resort.
