Prostate Cancer Center
The UCSF Prostate Cancer Center provides comprehensive and cutting-edge care to patients with prostate cancer as well as men at high risk of developing the condition. With an emphasis on early screening and detection, our center offers a range of services, from active surveillance for low-risk cancers to new and advanced treatments. We also connect patients with complementary and integrative medicine services, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, support groups and educational resources. Our mission is to optimize our patients' quality of life during treatment and beyond.
Our team combines the expertise of genitourinary oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists and urologic cancer surgeons. In addition to caring for patients, our physicians are at the forefront of prostate cancer research, and strive to quickly translate new findings into more effective prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
