The Men's Health Center has locations at North Knoxville Medical Center, Turkey Creek Medical Center, and LaFollette Medical Center. The multidisciplinary team includes a nurse navigator, urologists and radiation oncologists who adhere to proven best practices and protocols of care.
Services include:
- Screening and diagnosis
- Second opinions
- Specialized care for men at high risk
- Access to clinical trials
- Advanced treatment options, including robotic-assisted prostatectomies, radiation therapy and brachytherapy
There are many options for men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer or other genitourinary cancers that can lead to good outcomes. The team is well-versed in treatment options—surgery, radiation therapy and medications (hormonal therapy) that can slow the growth of cancer cells—to ensure patients receive the right treatment at the right time.
The physicians offer new and traditional methods of care. They also recognize that the best management is not always surgery or radiation, but rather careful observation—sometimes referred to as "watchful waiting." Our goal is not only to save lives, but to preserve the quality of life of every patient.
