Prostate Cancer Program

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is pleased to announce the establishment of the Prostate Care Center. This center is unique in focusing on multidisciplinary prostate cancer care ranging from evaluating elevated PSA and performing prostate biopsies, to providing surgical, radiation, systemic, or expectant (watchful waiting) treatment, as deemed appropriate, based on patients' individual needs and personal lifestyle priorities.
