- Urologist
- Surgical oncologist
- Radiation therapist
- Oncology nurse
- Nurse navigator
- Physical therapist
- Social worker

The team’s approach is to treat the whole patient: to understand not just his unique health profile, but also personal concerns, goals and objectives. What is most important for the patient to achieve in the treatment process?
Our prostate cancer teams work to help patients achieve physical recovery, but also the emotional and spiritual recovery so essential to quality of life.
