Daniel Song, M.D., Co-Director of the Prostate Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and Professor of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explains the benefits of radiation treatment for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.
With the best prostate cancer clinicians and specialists in the country gathered in one location, the Johns Hopkins Prostate Cancer Multidisciplinary Consultation provides the highest quality of care and the most up-to-date treatments available to patients with newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven prostate cancer.
The Johns Hopkins prostate cancer team is committed to a single day, small group, comprehensive prostate cancer patient evaluation and consultation. We have the top specialists in all fields, including radiation oncology, urologic surgery, medical oncology, radiology, and pathology working together to bring this broad expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer to each of our patients.
After your exam and an necessary lab tests, all team members meet in one room for a detailed review of each patient's case, for truly tailor-made treatment and care. Our commitment to optimal patient care also drives the research and educational components of our program.
We understand that a diagnosis of prostate cancer can be stressful and overwhelming. All members of the prostate cancer multidisciplinary team are dedicated to assisting patients and their families to alleviate any anxiety. If you have any questions regarding prostate cancer, you will have an opportunity to discuss them directly with your team members.
