Treatment of Prostate Cancer at Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Hear From Our Cancer Survivors

Prostate Cancer Treatment Center - Washington, DC

Is fear of the unknown causing you to procrastinate prostate cancer therapy? Cancer Treatment Centers of America offer a variety of prostate cancer treatments that are minimally invasive, and quite effective if cancer is caught before it is too advanced. In addition to offering the latest in medical science, we practice Patient Empowerment Medicine. That means you will be treated with dignity, given all the facts you need, and welcomed as part of the decision making process in planning your prostate cancer therapy. If you live in Washington, DC our nearest prostate cancer clinic is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania about 140 miles away.

Depending on the stage of your cancer, a variety of prostate cancer treatments are available including immunotherapy. Provenge is the first FDA-approved vaccine for prostate cancer, and we are one of the first prostate cancer centers to offer it. Provenge utilizes your own immune system to fight cancer cells. Your prostate cancer doctors can determine if this treatment will work for you.

Other prostate cancer treatments available include hormone therapy and several different specialized radiation treatments, including both external and internal therapies. Advancements in radiation such as Calypso CPS for the Body, have enabled prostate cancer surgeons to work with much higher precision than in the past, preventing surrounding tissues and organs from damage.

In cases where the cancer is aggressive and/or highly advanced, and all other options have been exhausted, surgery or chemotherapy might be necessary. We offer Metronomic Chemotherapy. This prostate cancer therapy features small doses of chemotherapy administered over the course of several days. This creates prolonged drug levels in the blood, improves the bodies tolerance and reduces the severity of side effects.

What truly sets our prostate cancer centers apart is that we recognize the impact of the individual in the healing process. So in addition to traditional medicine we offer complimentary services including mind/body healing, naturopathic medicine, oncology rehabilitation, pain management, spiritual support and nutritional therapy.
