Thanks to better screening methods and greater awareness, prostate cancer is being detected much earlier.  That is giving men more options for treatment and leading to better survival rates and an improved quality of life.  The American Cancer Society estimates that some 2 million men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer are leading active lives today.

At USMD Prostate Cancer Center, new advancements in prostate testing and biopsies are being used to pinpoint the type, stage and location of prostate cancers with outstanding accuracy. New 3D ultrasonic prostate biopsy technologies are employed to deliver this accuracy and offer a new convenient option for patients who undergo the biopsy procedure.
