Treatment Center Options - High Rish Aggressive Prostate Cancer

martial1

Hello - my BIL (61) had his first PSA done a couple of months ago with a 7.1 result. MRI and biopsies showed Gleason 9 with PNI and swollen pelvic lymph node. PSMA CT scheduled for next week. Urologic oncologist said very bad cancer. Can anyone recommend a treatment center that may be better than your standard local oncology team - Mayo Clinic? MD Anderson? Johns Hopkins? Thanks

As per the short information you share here, it seems that Bil's case is aggressive. Particularly if the lymph nodes are diagnosed with cancer.

In any case, you are still in the mid of the process trying to get more details on the matter which is recommended before resolving to a decision.

All the institutions you pointed out are masters in prostate cancer issues. Choose the closest to you as you may need to visit them quite often.

Best wishes and luck in Bil's journey.

Hi,

The centers you referenced are all excellent from what I have heard. If you tell us what part of the country you are located that might help pinpoint a center close to where you live. The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospital in Northeast Ohio are very good.

thanks! New Orleans, Louisiana. We have Ochsner hospital here but because the cancer is appears to be aggressive, we are looking for best options
