I feel it is crit­i­cal to work with my patients’ treat­ment teams to view each patient as an indi­vid­ual from a can­cer per­spec­tive as well as a human per­spec­tive and there­fore strive to deliv­er the best care possible.

Sep­tem­ber is prostate can­cer aware­ness month. Since prostate can­cer is the sec­ond most com­mon form of can­cer in men, start­ing at age 45 for those at an increased risk and age 50 for those at an aver­age risk, screen­ing options are avail­able to help catch can­cer at an ear­ly stage. Take charge of your health and sched­ule with your pri­ma­ry care provider to dis­cuss fam­i­ly his­to­ry and risk fac­tors to deter­mine if screen­ing is right for you.
