The Maimonides Prostate Center is
at the forefront of minimally-invasive
multidisciplinary surgical and medical
care – offering men facing a diagnosis
of prostate cancer the most advanced
expertise and the most customized
treatment options available.
“The Maimonides Prostate Center
offers the single most advanced
technology available for treating
prostate cancer, without radiation
and without removing healthy
tissue,” noted Dr. David Silver,
Chief of Urology and Director of the
Maimonides Prostate Center. “We are
the only full-service prostate center
in Brooklyn, and are extremely proud
to be the first on the East Coast to
offer this next generation focal HIFU
(High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
treatment.”
This next generation focal HIFU
treatment is the most precise imageguided
treatment option for prostate
cancer – right down to the millimeter.
With focal HIFU, specialists at
Maimonides treat just the cancerous
part of the prostate with non-invasive
ultrasound waves, sparing the rest of
the gland. That means no radiation…
no scars…and reduced side effects,
such as impotence and incontinence.
“The focal HIFU technology used at
our Prostate Center takes just one visit
for treatment, and results in fewer side
effects by selectively destroying the
cancerous cells within the prostate
while leaving the healthy areas of
the prostate intact and functional,”
explains Dr. David Silver.
A diagnosis of prostate cancer
can feel overwhelming, and the
accompanying quality of life issues
may affect decisions regarding
treatment options. The Maimonides
team includes urologists, radiologists,
pathologists, medical oncologists,
radiation oncologists, fertility
specialists and urinary function
specialists – all of whom have expertise
in treating prostate cancer.
The Maimonides Prostate Center
has a team of experts focused on your
goals and needs, and is the only center
in Brooklyn participating in clinical
trials for prostate cancer medications.
Depending on which treatment is best
for you, you may be able to try an
alternative therapy before it’s available
to the general public.
When it comes to prostate cancer
treatment, every man should ask
himself not, “Why should I stay in
Brooklyn?” – but, “Why would I go
anywhere else?”
