(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 06, 2010 ) St. Louis, MO -- Prostate cancer treatment has come a long way over the years. Advanced technology in prostate cancer treatment means early detection for a much higher survival rate.
The staff at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital views each patient with unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Through a multidisciplinary approach, prostate cancer patients benefit by having direct access to a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, surgeon, oncology nurses, dietitian, social worker and complementary therapies, all in one location. The multidisciplinary approach to prostate cancer treatment allows the staff to provide the most effective course of treatment.
At the Siteman Cancer Center, data reflects a high rate of cure and satisfaction with prostate cancer treatment. After completing traditional treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy, patients are encouraged to participate in a program called LIVENsm (Lifestyle InterVention with Exercise and Nutrition).
LIVENsm is a successful program for prostate cancer survivors offering many benefits including weight loss, improved energy level, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, to name a few. Many participants are able to eliminate blood pressure or cholesterol medications as a result of participating in the program.
Dr. Lannis Hall has extensive experience in the treatment of breast, prostate, and head and neck cancers. She helped develop the first prostate brachytherapy program in St. Charles County. She has performed over 700 prostate seed implant procedures over the past decade. Her patients have access to state-of-the-art tomotherapy and gamma knife treatments through the partnership with WUSM at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. No other cancer center in the country has all three elements of radiation oncology equipment. Visit http://www.bjsph.org/ to learn more.
