Treatment of Prostate Cancer at Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Hear From Our Cancer Survivors

Prostate Cancer Treatment Center - Vancouver, BC, CA

Do you suspect that you have prostate cancer? If you are a male over 40 years old, you are at risk. According to the American Cancer Society, one in six males will experience prostate cancer in their lifetime. Symptoms include frequent urination, painful urination, difficulty starting/stopping urine flow, painful ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, blood in semen or urine, weak or intermittent urine flow, and/or chronic pain/stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Early stages of prostate cancer often have no symptoms at all, so if you are experiencing symptoms, taking action is imperative. Cancer Treatment Centers of America offer cutting edge diagnostic tools, and a staff of skillful prostate cancer doctors. If you live in Vancouver, British Columbia, our nearest center is located in Seattle, Washington, about 235 km (145 miles) away.

Timing is crucial. The advancement of your cancer will be a determining factor in which prostate cancer treatments will be effective. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America there are a wide variety of prostate cancer therapy options including immunotherapy, six different forms of radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and prostate cancer surgery. We utilize chemotherapy or prostate cancer surgery only as a last resort due to the negative side effects and severity of treatment. Unlike other prostate cancer centers, an arbitrary treatment plan will not be prescribed without your input. At CTCA we practice empowered medicine, which means you will be treated with dignity and respect, fully educated of all available options, and encouraged to take an active role as we create a recovery plan tailored to your individual needs and desires.

In addition, you will have the option to include a variety of complementary practices into your treatment. We recognize the impact of the individual in prostate cancer recovery. Your mental, spiritual and emotional health are all vital to the healing process, so in addition to traditional medicine, we offer several complimentary services including mind/body healing, pain management, naturopathic medicine, spiritual support and nutritional support. Again, you are free to choose only the services you feel are beneficial to your own experience.
