Surgery vs. Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: Expert Patient Seminar

Exploring Treatment Options for Localized Prostate Cancer - Patient Education Seminar

On November 1, 2023, Mount Sinai hosted a pivotal event created to navigate patients and their families through the difficulties of prostate cancer. The session served as a center of clarity and enlightenment. Led by our physicians, participants had the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogues, connect with peers on similar journeys, and gain insights into the diverse treatment options.

Our experts explored treatment options for prostate cancer, such as radiation therapy and surgery, explaining their relevance.

Emphasizing our dedication to proactive health initiatives, attendees benefited from our Prostate Cancer Screening Mobile Unit, which offered complimentary PSA tests.

Encouraged to participate actively, audience asked questions to the healthcare providers. This gathering was an immersive experience of urologic conditions, equipping participants with profound knowledge and perspective.
