Dr. Manuj Agarwal, co-founder of the Prostate Cancer Institute of America (PCIA), was recently featured on the American Brachytherapy Society podcast to discuss the importance of whole-person prostate cancer care — an approach that goes beyond the tumor to protect long-term health and quality of life.
Shifting the Focus Beyond Survival
In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Agarwal emphasized that while brachytherapy and other modern treatments have made tremendous progress in controlling prostate cancer, treatment is only the beginning.
The next step is integrating cardiovascular prevention, lifestyle, and longevity science into prostate cancer care — ensuring that men not only survive cancer, but also thrive in the years that follow.
Key Takeaways
The episode highlights:
-
The need to address heart health alongside prostate cancer treatment.
-
How lifestyle interventions like nutrition, movement, and stress reduction improve outcomes.
-
The role of longevity science in helping patients preserve energy, vitality, and quality of life long after treatment ends.
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
