Prostate Cancer

Get a Second Opinion

If you need to feel more confident about your best treatment options or simply want to confirm results, get a second opinion from Hall-Perrine Cancer Center.

The Hall-Perrine Cancer Center staff and patient services are centered around treating the whole person – before, during and after prostate cancer treatment.

When you're ready to begin treatment, you'll receive the latest, most effective cancer technologies that Hall-Perrine physicians use to help fight each patient's unique battle with cancer. This may include one or a combination of the following:

Post-Treatment

Survivorship

Prostate cancer survivorship is more than just completing treatment. We provide continued specialized care for your transition from active treatment to daily life as a cancer survivor. Our experts help with side effect management and regaining quality of life. Learn more about our prostate cancer survivorship clinic.

Genetic Testing

Cancer is a common disease. However, some people have a greater chance of developing cancer. This may be due to gene changes that are passed through the family. Inherited gene changes are responsible for 5 to 10% of all cancers.

For example, evidence suggests that having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man's risk of developing this disease. Knowing your cancer risk factors, including genetics, can make an astounding difference in your future health.
