Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center 1015 NW 22nd Avenue Portland, OR 97210 Map/Directions
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the U.S. That's the bad news. The good news is that early detection and advanced technology have dramatically improved the success rate of prostate cancer treatment.
At Legacy we offer a wide range of prostate cancer treatments, from precision radiation therapy to robotic-assisted surgery, provided by a remarkable team of specialists in oncology, urology, radiology and surgery.
If you do receive a diagnosis of cancer, please feel free to call our Oncology Nurse Navigators at 1-877-777-0112. They're specially trained registered nurses who guide and support you through the challenges of having cancer. And because we believe in treating the whole person, not just the disease, we also offer a full complement of support services that create a truly healing experience.
Chemotherapy: Medication used to slow the growth of the cancer which has spread to other areas of the body
Hormonal therapy: Reducing male hormones causes most prostate cancer to shrink or regress
"Watchful Waiting:" Close monitoring, without active treatment, of early slow-growing cancer. This approach may be appropriate to avoid possible risks and side effects of other treatments, or when other serious medical conditions are present.
