2000 - Prostate cancer is the second highest cause of cancer deaths in American men.
Prostate conditions are some of the most important health issues men face.
Studies show that if a man's father or brother has prostate cancer, his risk is about twice as great as the average American male. Mayo Clinic Scottsdale offers a multidisciplinary team approach to prostate cancer treatment. A patient has the option of seeing a urologist, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist all within our one location, and we offer a number treatment options which can be tailored to the individual patient. We don't promote a 'one treatment fits all' type of approach. There are concerns about lasting side effects, such as impotence or incontinence.
