Prostate Cancer

Treatment in Florida

At Mayo Clinic in Florida, hundreds of patients are treated each year for prostate cancer, with more than 1,500 radical prostatectomies having been performed over the past 10 years. An expert team of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists and other medical professionals work with you to determine the best treatment options. Some patients may be candidates for clinical trials and innovative treatments through the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.

All diagnosis and treatment options for prostate cancer described in these pages are available.

Mayo Clinic also offers the newest external beam therapy, known as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), for prostate cancer care. IMRT uses precisely shaped radiation beams to deliver higher doses to the cancer with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Cancer is treated more effectively while reducing side effects.
