An article about introduction to prostate cancer by Dr Gil Lederman.

1. Introduction to Prostate Cancer
An important area of our work is the prostate.
Our physicians, technology and experience dates back more than a decade with 2,000 men
treated. We have five and ten-year comparison data to most every major center in America. For
those with prostate cancer our data should be compelling to evaluate regardless of treatment
decisions.
Many chose treatment with Radiosurgery New York physicians because of our experience as well
as our data. Many men wish to avoid the surgery associated with radical prostatectomy or the
prolonged course of radiation associated with external radiation or conformal radiation.
By suing our unique program of seeds plus fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery, we have high
control rates and high cancer-free survival at five and ten years. Also, the quality of life appears
to be better than that associated with open surgery. This data is true both for those with low risk-
low PSA-low Gleason score cancers, as well as those with high risk cancers.
We have a booklet and video exclusively produced for those with prostate cancer and we would
encourage you to review this material before making any treatment decisions.
