At Archbold Urology, we are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care to individuals facing prostate cancer. Our providers are dedicated to offering cutting-edge treatment options and unwavering support throughout your journey to recovery.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among me, but it's also one of the most treatable when diagnosed early. Our team at Archbold Urology recognizes the physical and emotional challenges that come with a prostate cancer diagnosis, and we are here to guide you through the process with the utmost care.
Archbold Urology understands that no two cases are the same. We work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that considers your unique medical history, preferences and goals. Our approach is patient-centered, and we are committed to enhancing your quality of life.
Our team of experienced urologists at Archbold Urology and oncologists at Archbold Cancer Center offer a range of advanced treatment options for prostate cancer, including:
Active Surveillance: For some low-risk prostate cancers, active surveillance may be recommended, which involves closely monitoring the cancer's progression without immediate treatment.
Surgery: We provide minimally invasive surgical procedures, including robot-assisted prostatectomy, for the removal of cancerous tissue with minimal scarring and a faster recovery.
Radiation Therapy: Our state-of-the-art radiation therapy options include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy, effective targeting and treating prostate cancer. Archbold Urology also offers SpaceOAR™ Hydrogel during radiation therapy.
Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy can be used to slow the growth of prostate cancer by reducing testosterone levels.
Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapies: Innovative therapies that target specific markers in cancer cells, improving treatment precision.
We understand that a prostate cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. That's why we offer a range of support services, including counseling, nutritional guidance and educational resources to help you and your loved ones navigate this journey.
Our dedicated team is focused on providing compassionate care and emotional support to patients and their families. We are here to address your concerns, answer your questions, and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your treatment.
