If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, do you go to see a urologist or an oncologist for treatment? Thank you.

Answer:

That’s a great question! When diagnosed with prostate cancer, we suggest discussing your treatment choices with a urologic oncologist. Fox Chase has a number of urologic oncologists that specialize in the treatment of prostate cancer. If you’d like to make an appointment with someone on our urologic oncology team, please call 888-FOX-CHASE (888-369-2427) or request an appointment online. After speaking with our new patient office, they will direct you to one of our urology nurse navigators who will help you schedule your appointment. In the meantime, you can learn more about our prostate cancer care team here. We hope this helps!
