CuringProstateCancer.com Billboards and Radio Spark Interest

CuringProstateCancer.com billboards and radio promos throughout Atlanta are causing men and women to ask who is behind CuringProstateCancer.com.

Developed by Atlanta based Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia, the multi-faceted CuringProstateCancer.com education and awareness program is highly visible because of its promotional messaging in print publications, traditional and satellite radio outlets throughout the region. A convenient web site helps visitors request a free DVD and guide “Questions & Answers to Curing Prostate Cancer” that provides additional information on the subject.

Education is the key to taking control of your prostate cancer and men need to know the facts, learn about the types of treatment available and find out the cure rate of the option they may choose.

Each year thousands of patients from around the world and across the United States turn to RC Cancer Centers seeking a cure for their prostate cancer and learn why they are The Choice for Saving Lives. Founded in 1979, Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia, a division of RC Cancer Centers, has earned a reputation for being one of the country’s top cancer treatment and research facilities because of its commitment to quality, use of the latest radiation technology and focus on research that enables it to treat men and women with different types of cancer, including breast, prostate, lung, colon, lymphatic and others.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among American men, second only to skin cancer. In 2009, the American Cancer Society projected about 220,000 men would be diagnosed with the disease and more than 27,000 would die from prostate cancer.

Men need to know that for more than three decades, Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia (RCOG), a division of RC Cancer Centers, and exclusive provider of ProstRcision® has been helping men manage this highly treatable disease. This treatment protects against incontinence and preserves normal sexual function.

The facts are clear. The 10-year documented cure rate for Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia’s ProstRcision® is 83 percent, making it one of the best prostate cancer treatment options available today.

RCOG specializes in curing prostate cancer, not just treating the disease. More than 12,500 men have been treated with ProstRcision®. Their demographic and statistical information has been compiled into one of the largest computerized research databases on prostate cancer in the United States, which is a significant resource for men.

RCOG’s secure database collects information about each man before treatment, during irradiation and at each check-up following treatment. Examples of information gathered before treatment are a man’s age, his PSA before irradiation, his Gleason score, his prostate size, his sexual function, and how many times he gets up at night to urinate. The number of I-125 seeds, amount of irradiation from seeds, and external irradiation are just some examples of the data collected. The significance of this data is most helpful as more prostate cancer patients seek concise, factual and evidence-based information before they choose, along with their physician, the best course of treatment.

This database with its more than nine million data points makes it possible for RCOG to proactively help other men diagnosed with prostate cancer. By contacting RCOG’s concierge service, men can speak directly with a board-certified radiation oncologist. After providing pertinent medical information to RCOG, the findings are then matched with those of men with similar circumstances from the database and your 10-year individual cure rate (ICR) is calculated. These ICR calculations can help you make an objective decision about which treatment method gives you the best chance of cure.

In an effort to better educate men about their health choices, RC Cancer Centers and Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia are sharing information about prostate cancer treatment options through the Web site CuringProstateCancer.com.

Visitors to the site can request a free guide and DVD “Questions & Answers to Curing Prostate Cancer” that provides additional information on the subject.

“If even one death from prostate cancer is prevented and one person becomes more informed because this information is readily available, the effort will have made a very real difference,” said Don Holton, President & CEO of RC Cancer Centers.
