Localized Prostate Cancer: Detection and Treatment

Are you confused with the current controversy concerning prostate cancer screening?  Are the multiple treatment options available for localized prostate cancer overwhelming?

Dr. Joseph Wagner is a nationally recognized leader in robotic surgery and performed some of the first urologic robotic cases in this country in 2001.  Dr. Kenneth Leopold is a graduate of the Harvard Joint Center for Radiation Therapy and helped pioneer the use of intensity modulated radiation therapy and transperineal radio-active seed implants at Hartford Hospital.

In this seminar, you will:
- Understand risk factors for developing prostate cancer.
- Discuss methods of detection.
- Review all treatment options for localized prostate cancer including external beam radiation therapy and radio-active seed implantation.
