Treatment of Prostate Cancer at Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Hear From Our Cancer Survivors

Prostate Cancer Treatment Center - Pittsburgh, PA

A negative prognosis can be hard to cope with. If you’ve received a negative prognosis regarding your prostrate cancer, you should understand that a prognosis is an anticipated course of a disease, based on prior case histories. While case studies may provide insight into what difficulties you will face, they can not dictate the outcome. At the Cancer Treatment Centers of America we believe your well being and mental attitude are the deciding factors in your recovery. Because of this we provide a support system that addresses your whole person, not just your disease. Want to know more? If you live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we have a prostate cancer clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, around 300 miles away.

Our approach to prostate cancer therapy includes a combination of traditional medicine and complimentary services. You will have access to vital support like pain management, nutrition therapy, spiritual support, naturopathic medicine, mind/body medicine and oncology rehabilitation.

In addition, we offer the latest medical advancements in prostate cancer treatments. These include Provenge (the first FDA-approved prostate cancer vaccine), prostate cancer surgery, hormone therapy (depriving cancerous cells of the male hormones they need to survive and grow), chemotherapy, and a variety of radiation therapies. These include:

1. Calypso GPS for the Body: The latest in radiation therapy. This is the most precise radiation treatment available. Because it is so accurately focused, tissues and surrounding organs are protected from damage during treatment.
2. High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation): This form of prostate cancer therapy uses an implant placed inside the body to deliver the radiation.
3. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) : Delivers a high dose of radiation from outside the body to the effected area.
4. TomoTherapy: This prostate cancer therapy combines an intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with CT scanning technology, all in one machine. It is used to treat prostate tumors that are close to the bladder or other organs.
