Treatment of Prostate Cancer at Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Hear From Our Cancer Survivors

Prostate Cancer Treatment Center - Wichita, KS

Do you dread the thought of prostate cancer therapy almost more than the cancer itself? Modern advancements in treatment, have improved the process dramatically. Cancer Treatment Centers of America offer a variety of prostate cancer treatments that are minimally invasive, and 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 allowed to play an active role in planning your prostate cancer therapy. If you live in Wichita, Kansas, our nearest prostate cancer clinic is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about 200 miles away.

A variety of new prostate cancer treatments are available including Provenge, the first FDA-approved vaccine for prostate cancer. We are among the first prostate cancer centers to offer it. Because Provenge utilizes your own immune system to fight cancer cells, this method of treatment is called immunotherapy. Your prostate cancer doctors will perform diagnostic tests to determine if this prostate cancer therapy can work for you. Many times immunotherapy is used in combination with other treatments including hormone therapy and radiation. Advancements in radiation have enabled prostate cancer surgeons to work with much higher precision than in the past, preventing surrounding tissues and organs from damage.

If your cancer is aggressive, and all other options have been exhausted, surgery or chemotherapy might be necessary. But even chemotherapy has improved. We offer Metronomic chemotherapy. This prostate cancer therapy features small doses of chemotherapy administered over the course of several days, as opposed to the larger doses (responsible for the extreme side effects) used in the past. Metronomic chemotherapy 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 our respect for the individual in the healing process. In addition to our cutting edge medical care, we offer complimentary services including mind/body healing, naturopathic medicine, oncology rehabilitation, pain management, spiritual support and nutritional therapy.
