Prostate Cancer Overview

Discovering and Delivering Compassionate, Coordinated Care

If you have prostate cancer, you receive the edge you need to fight the disease from the UMass Memorial Cancer Center team of experts in Worcester, MA.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. When prostate cancer is found early – while it’s still confined to the prostate – there’s a better chance of successful treatment. The prostate is a small gland that produces the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.

The center’s specialists provide:

Advanced Robotic Surgery
As a patient, you have easy access to a wide range of cancer treatment options. One of those options is minimally invasive robotic surgery for prostate cancer.

The daVinci S robotic surgery system allows our surgeons to perform the most delicate operations, such as prostatectomy (removal of all or part of the prostate gland), with more accuracy, resulting in less pain and faster recovery time for you.
