AB  - 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.<br/>
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.
