A multidisciplinary approach to prostate cancer has become the rule and not the exception. Involving the entire team, which includes a medical oncologist, from the time of initial diagnosis is optimal. This facilitates maximal patient education regarding treatment options and enhances informed decision making.A coordinated approach also promotes enrollment on clinical trials, which are often, multimodality, especially in high-risk early stage prostate cancer. Integrated therapeutic strategies throughout the patient's disease course can improve both patient care and satisfaction.
