Join us as Dr. Isaac Powell, a leading specialist in prostate cancer, shares invaluable insights on the prognosis and available treatment options post-diagnosis. In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Powell delves into various crucial aspects such as PSA counts, surgical outcomes, management of post-operative side effects, risk factors for recurrence, and the importance of factoring in overall health against age alone when mapping out a treatment plan. Importantly, Dr. Powell imparts, “There are many patients who are under 60 that are in poor health where surgery would not be appropriate.” Some of the pressing questions tackled in this session include: ‘What is the best option – surgery, radiation therapy or active surveillance?’, ‘Why do African American men have a greater risk of prostate cancer?’, and ‘When should an aggressive treatment be considered over a noninvasive one?’. Tune in and empower yourself with the knowledge to make an informed decision about your health.
