Atlanta, Georgia — Jitesh Patel, MD, and Advanced
Urology and Western Radiation Oncology (WRO) announced a new clinical
partnership to bring advanced low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy to men with
prostate cancer across the Atlanta metropolitan area. The collaboration
combines Advanced Urology's comprehensive urologic care with WRO's nationally
recognized radiation oncology expertise to deliver highly precise, minimally
invasive treatment options closer to home.
LDR brachytherapy is a proven, evidence-based therapy that
places tiny radioactive seeds directly within the prostate, allowing radiation
to be delivered exactly where it is needed. This targeted approach enables
physicians to administer a highly effective dose to the tumor while minimizing
exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. For many patients, this translates
into:
- Precise,
localized dose delivery with reduced impact on nearby organs and excellent
long-term cancer control
- A
quick outpatient procedure with most patients returning home the same day
- Shorter
recovery times and faster return to normal activities
WRO's physicians are recognized leaders in prostate
brachytherapy, with deep subspecialty experience and a strong record of
clinical outcomes. By coordinating care between urology and radiation oncology
teams, the partnership ensures a seamless patient experience from diagnosis
through treatment and follow-up.
"At Advanced Urology, we are pleased to offer state-of-the-art
brachytherapy for our patients with prostate cancer. Our partnership with
Western Radiation Oncology demonstrates our commitment to excellence in patient
care and expands our offerings in state-of-the-art cancer care," said Vahan
Kassabian, MD.
"This collaboration allows us to deliver the highest level
of precision radiation therapy while keeping care convenient and
patient-centered," said Ankit Agarwal, MD of Western Radiation Oncology.
"Together, we're providing Atlanta-area patients access to some of the most
advanced prostate cancer treatments available today."
