Why Winship for Your Prostate Cancer
Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University is well-equipped to treat various types of prostate cancer. The choice of treatment is tailored to each patient's unique situation. Our prostate cancer program provides innovative treatment options for patients in Georgia and throughout the Southeast.
Winship’s genitourinary cancer care team is dedicated to providing an accurate diagnosis, delivering the best possible care and closely monitoring a patient’s condition following prostate surgery and treatment. Our prostate cancer program is located across multiple sites: Winship Cancer Institute (Clifton campus), Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Winship at Emory Midtown and Emory Johns Creek Hospital, so that wherever you are, you have access to advanced care.
You'll receive coordinated scheduling for appointments among various specialties, access to a nurse navigator to assist you through the treatment process and the opportunity to take part in support groups and education classes for you and your caregivers. Winship excels in providing a comprehensive, coordinated approach to prostate cancer treatment.
Also as Georgia’s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer access to cutting-edge diagnostic methods, advanced treatment options and innovative clinical trials.
The Winship prostate cancer and genitourinary cancer teams include urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, nuclear medicine specialists, advanced practice nurses and social workers. These top clinicians and specialists work together to provide the most appropriate, individualized approach to treating patients with a prostate tumor.
Your personalized treatment plan first requires an accurate and precise diagnosis. Our expert genitourinary oncology teams specialize in diagnosing genitourinary cancers and nothing else, so you can be assured they are well-versed in prostate cancer. We use the most advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic technology to understand your specific prostate cancer at a molecular level.
A personalized treatment approach is critical in delivering therapies that make a difference in your prostate cancer care. Our comprehensive team of specialists reviews each patient’s case on a weekly basis. This brings all our experts into one place to discuss personalized treatment plans for each individual patient.
Clinical trials help advance research and outcomes. Enrolling in a research study could impact a patient’s outcome. At Winship, prostate cancer patients have access to the latest research studies that are being led at Winship and underway on a national scale. Talk with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial at Winship.
Not only do we have higher prostate cancer survival rates at Winship as compared with non-NCI-designated centers, but we also focus on living well with prostate cancer. We are committed to lowering rates of recurrence and strive to deliver treatment with fewer side effects — so you can continue to go about your routine.
Our prostate cancer care team is here for you and your family to lean on. Our nutritionists, social workers, counselors and more do everything in their power to assist you throughout your experience with us.
