Advanced Prostate Cancer Program
OUR PROGRAM
The treatment of advanced prostate cancer has significantly changed over the past few years and treatment options have
greatly expanded. Garden State Urology has developed a program specializing in care and treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer.
Garden State Urology has offices in multiple locations throughout Morris County with the Advanced Prostate Cancer Program being located
at 16 Eden Lane in Whippany, NJ. Once referred by your Urologist, you will meet with one of our four Advanced Prostate Cancer Doctors.
This physician and team will then follow you specifically for the care of your prostate cancer.
UNDERSTANDING YOU OPTIONS WHEN PROSTATE CANCER HAS SPREAD
Your healthcare provider may have told you that your prostate cancer no longer responds to medical or surgical treatments. The medical
term for this condition is castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). At this point, your prostate cancer may have spread to other parts
of your body. When this happens, your healthcare provider will say the cancer has “metastasized.” The medical term for this condition
is castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
