Innovations at St. Clair Health Protecting Men During Prostate Cancer Treatment

Did you know that Prostate Cancer is one of the most common cancers among men?  It is also the second leading cause of cancer death in men, behind only lung cancer. To raise awareness and learn more about prostate cancer, I had the pleasure to sit down with Dr. David Hepps of St. Clair Medical Group Urology. In this episode, we discuss practical steps men can take for early detection and better outcomes, as well as how St. Clair supports patients and families through collaborative care and quality-of-life considerations. We also review treatment options such as robotic surgery, active surveillance, and the BioProtect Balloon that helps protect healthy tissue during radiation treatment.  To  schedule an appointment with Dr. Hepps or another St. Clair Medical Group Urology provider, call 412-942-4100.   Thank you St. Clair Health for sponsoring this episode.
