Care for Prostate Cancer

The region’s most experienced cancer center is here for you.

Prostate CancerIf you have prostate cancer, you want the best chance of recovery. But at the same time, you’re very worried about possible serious side effects like impotence and incontinence. You can find experienced doctors who share your concerns right here in the Lehigh Valley.

More men in our region choose Lehigh Valley Hospital than any other cancer center. Our doctors have a great deal of experience, and that means they are better at minimizing unwanted side effects. We have a national reputation for successful treatment of prostate cancer, and we offer all forms of treatment. Our doctors were the first in our region to offer men the option of brachytherapy, radioactive “seeds” that are implanted in the prostate, with minimal risk of impotence.

Thanks to tremendous medical advances, you now have more options and a greater chance for a cure. Today, 99 out of 100 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive five years later.

Our team of experienced doctors will listen to your concerns and explain the pros and cons of all your treatment options. The doctors will make sure you have enough information to make the decision that’s best for you.

But don't take our word for it. Our patient satisfaction rating is in the top 1 percent nationwide.
