Let’s Get Ahead of Prostate Cancer
After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among American men, with 1 in 8 men being diagnosed in their lifetime. The good news is that it’s also one of the most treatable forms of cancer.
The prostate program at AdventHealth Gordon is committed to superior cancer care. Our team brings together urologists and other experts in the field to diagnose and treat these types of cancers. An individual treatment plan will be created that is personalized to you. Most of all, we help you live life to the fullest, providing you with counseling, mentoring and support during and after your medical treatment.
Watch for Potential Signs and Symptoms
It’s important to talk to your doctor about any new or worsening symptoms, as they may be a result of a benign condition, not cancer. But some prostate cancer symptoms are:
Blood in the urine or semen
Pain in the hips, back, chest or other areas from cancer that has spread
Problems urinating
Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet, or loss of bladder/bowel control from cancer pressing on the spinal cord

Be Informed, Feel Empowered
Our team is dedicated to ensuring you understand your diagnosis and treatment options. This guide written by our medical experts is designed to help answer common questions about prostate cancer, such as:
What are the causes and risk factors of prostate cancer?
How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
What are the latest and most advanced prostate cancer treatments?
Our specialists develop a course of action that considers your medical history, current health, the type of cancer you have been diagnosed with and the available therapies. With prostate cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, your team will build a plan that puts some of the most advanced medical research and procedures to work for you.
Surgery (Robotic Radical Prostatectomy)
If your prostate cancer appears to be located entirely inside your prostate gland, our skilled surgeons can remove the prostate and surrounding tissue, preserving as much of the surrounding nerves and blood vessels as possible.
Radiation Therapy
At AdventHealth Gordon, we use various forms of radiation, which is a highly sophisticated therapy that uses imaging techniques to deliver a radiation dose to tumors.
Targeted Therapy
AdventHealth Gordon physicians focus on more personalized treatment planning for patients. As a result, we provide several types of targeted therapies, including hormone therapy and immunotherapy, that more precisely identify and attack cancer cells.
