Prostate Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, in 2019 about 1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer. About 1 man in 41 will die of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 2.9 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.

Why Choose OncoLogics?
ADVANCED THERAPIES
We are committed to offering the most advanced treatments available. Our treatment plans follow national guidelines and are the same protocols as those used by top academic cancer centers.
TEAM OF EXPERTS
Our doctors, nurses, technical and support staff are experts in their fields. We work as one closely coordinated team and enjoy what we do.
PATIENT & FAMILY CENTERED
We’re not afraid to admit that we love our patients and families. And because of that, we approach each person as if they were one of our own family members. We believe in the power of a smile or hug to help someone get through a challenging day.
LEADERS IN PROSTATE CANCER
In addition to providing therapy options that require fewer treatments, we are the first in the region to offer Space OAR, a hydrogel procedure that reduces common side effects after receiving prostate cancer radiotherapy. Space OAR minimizes the radiation dose delivered to the anterior rectum to limit the risk of injury in select cases.
PERSONALIZED CARE
Some patients may need as little as five treatments. We’ll spend time with you to make sure you understand your diagnosis and which treatment plan best meets your needs, whether it’s 5 or 28.
A little space before prostate radiation can make a big difference.
Barrigel is an injectable biodegradable material that separates the prostate from the rectum to protect it during radiation therapy treatment for prostate cancer. Barrigel address the limitations of current spacing materials by offering unprecedented control for patient-specific customization, visually guided spacing on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), and the ability to sculpt the spacer while eliminating injection time constraints. The result is customizable coverage for patient-tailored results.
