Early Intervention in Prostate Cancer: Best Approach to Treatment
Prostate cancer is one of the leading cancers in men. However, when prostate cancer is detected early enough, it is very treatable and curable. More can be read about the value of early detection and intervention here.
"Before the PSA screening era, one out of every three prostate cancer patients who underwent surgery was too late for intervention," said Dr. Dov Kadmon, professor of urology at BCM and co-leader of the prostate cancer program in the NCI-designated Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at BCM. "This, and other significant advancements, have given physicians a better understanding of the disease and reaffirm the importance of treating prostate cancer early."
Dr. Kadmon joined the Scott Department of Urology faculty in 1986. He specializes in prostate cancer and urologic oncology and has a special interest in prostate cancer surgery.
