Prostate cancer

Oncology specialists diagnose and treat all types of prostate cancer at our facilities in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. The types of cancer we treat include:

• Adenocarcinomas, which grow from tissue found in blood vessels and organs and account for almost all prostate cancer cases
• Rare types of prostate cancers, including:
  • Sarcomas, which grow from cells found in bones and soft tissues
  • Small cell sarcomas, which are an aggressive type of sarcoma
  • Neuroendocrine tumors, which grow from neuroendocrine cells (cells that release hormones into the blood)
  • Transitional cell carcinomas, which grow from cells found in the urinary system

Urologic-oncology specialists at Medical City Arlington, Medical City Dallas, Medical City Fort Worth and Medical City Plano offer a range of treatment options for prostate cancers. Through our oncology program, they'll work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan that can include:

• Surgical treatment, such as prostatectomy (removal of all or part of the prostate gland)
• Nonsurgical prostate cancer treatment options, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy
• Additional resources to help you complete a full recovery

We know a cancer diagnosis affects more than your physical health. That's why cancer support groups are a major part of cancer care at Medical City Healthcare. If you've just learned about a cancer diagnosis, are supporting a loved one through treatment or are transitioning into survivorship, we can connect you with a local community for ongoing care.
