World-Class Prostate Cancer Care

The new Prostate & Urologic Cancer Program is staffed by renowned radiation and urologic oncologists experienced in treating patients with prostate cancer, including those who have been recently diagnosed.

Our nationally ranked urologic oncologists provide consultations at Fox Chase East Norriton for patients with prostate cancer. As a leader in prostate cancer care, we specialize in focal therapy, prostate gland ablation, and both robotic and traditional prostatectomy. We offer men with low-risk prostate cancer the option of active surveillance.

Highly experienced radiation oncologists provide patients access to advanced radiation therapies:

• Hypofractionation can shave weeks off the traditional treatment length with the possibility of fewer short-term side effects and a better quality of life. Many clinical trials have proven hypofractionation to be just as safe and effective as conventional radiation therapy.
• High-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy offers the greatest amount of bladder and rectal sparing. Fox Chase was the first to perform HDR prostate implants in the Eastern U.S. and has one of the largest brachytherapy programs in the region.

Through Fox Chase’s robust research program, we also offer new treatments to patients in the form of clinical trials. On average, patients in our clinical trials receive the newest treatments years before they are approved for general use.
