Our goal is to offer the most effective treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Early Detection and Diagnosis
Early detection is key to successful prostate cancer treatment. The Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico emphasizes the importance of regular screenings, particularly for men over 50 or those with a family history of prostate cancer. Our comprehensive diagnostic services include Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) testing, digital rectal exams (DRE), and advanced imaging techniques such as MRI and ultrasound. When necessary, we perform minimally invasive biopsies to confirm a diagnosis, ensuring accuracy with minimal discomfort.

Our multidisciplinary team of oncologists, urologists, and radiation therapists works together to develop personalized treatment plans that consider the stage of cancer, the patient’s overall health, and personal preferences. Our patient-centered approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to achieve the best possible outcome.

Advanced Treatment Options
At the Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico, we are committed to supporting our patients throughout their cancer journey. Our supportive care services include pain management, nutritional counseling, and psychological support to help patients and their families navigate the challenges of prostate cancer. We also offer survivorship programs to ensure long-term health and wellness after treatment.

Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer at Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico
Brachytherapy is a highly effective treatment option for prostate cancer, offering precise targeting of cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. At the Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico, we specialize in delivering advanced brachytherapy as part of our comprehensive prostate cancer treatment program.

Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, involves placing radioactive seeds directly into or near the prostate gland. This targeted approach allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered directly to the tumor with fewer side effects compared to external beam radiation therapy. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Our team of experienced radiation oncologists and urologists collaborates to create personalized treatment plans that maximize the effectiveness of brachytherapy. We use advanced imaging technology to precisely guide the placement of the radioactive seeds, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.

Brachytherapy is particularly effective for patients with localized prostate cancer and can be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as hormone therapy or external beam radiation. Patients often experience fewer side effects and a faster recovery compared to other treatment options.

Choosing the Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico for brachytherapy means benefiting from cutting-edge technology, expert care, and a patient-centered approach. Contact us today to learn more about how brachytherapy can be an effective treatment option for prostate cancer.

In-Office Brachytherapy Available!
At the Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico, we are excited to offer an innovative treatment option: In-Office Brachytherapy. This cutting-edge procedure provides a highly effective approach to prostate cancer treatment, now conveniently available in the comfort of our office.

In-Office Brachytherapy involves the precise placement of radioactive seeds directly into the prostate gland to target and treat cancer cells. The major advantage of this approach is that it is performed under local anesthesia, meaning that you don’t have to deal with the side effects from general anesthesia, and have the treatment in the comfort of your doctor’s office rather than in the hospital.

This streamlined process allows patients to drive themselves to the office, undergo the procedure, and then head back home the same day. The efficiency and convenience of In-Office Brachytherapy make it an excellent option for those seeking effective treatment with minimal disruption to their daily lives. You can literally drive to the procedure and back home yourself without needing a driver.

At the Prostate Cancer Institute of New Mexico, we prioritize patient comfort and cutting-edge care. With the addition of In-Office Brachytherapy, we continue to provide advanced prostate cancer treatment options that deliver excellent outcomes with the utmost convenience.
