Center for Prostate Cancer Care
Experienced, specialized treatment of prostate cancer
If you're facing prostate cancer, you can turn to ProHealth Care's Center for Prostate Cancer Care for the best care possible. That's because we're solely dedicated to this specialty. In fact, we were the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary prostate cancer care center in Southeast Wisconsin. And, we are one of only five cancer treatment programs selected to participate in the Association of Community Cancer Centers' (ACCC's) Prostate Cancer "Best Practices" Project.
The Regional Cancer Center was chosen as as a model program for its multidisciplinary approach to prostate cancer treatments, open communication and patient access to state-of-the-art cancer technology within the community. We offer many specialized cancer care services not found anywhere else.
Prostate cancer is the nation's most commonly diagnosed, yet few men understand their diagnosis and cancer treatment options. Knowing your options is key to making the best prostate cancer treatment choice for you and your family. That's why we are committed to educating men upfront about prostate cancer and the best treatment options available. As a result, you'll feel more comfortable and ready to make informed decisions about the treatment of your prostate cancer.

Why choose us for prostate cancer treatment?

- We were the first cancer treatment center in Southeast Wisconsin to offer the BAT system - the newest technology available for improving prostate cancer radiation treatment.
Clinical research programs for prostate cancer
Our patients have access to clinical research specific to prostate cancer. In fact, the Regional Cancer Center was also recognized in 2007 as one of the most successful community-based oncology clinical research programs in the country for enrolling a record number of patients in cancer clinical and prevention trials.
ProHealth Care's Center for Prostate Cancer Care was chosen as a model because it:
