External Beam Radiation Therapy

Urology Associates work with Dr Ben Hindson and Dr Brendon Anderson at St George's Cancer Care Centre to provide men the option of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Ben and Brendon are both Radiation Oncologists - doctors with specialist expertise in the use of radiation therapy to treat cancers.

The Radiation Oncologists run visiting clinics in our rooms at Urology Associates. Your urologist will offer you an appointment to see one of them if this is appropriate for your type of prostate cancer. If you choose to have EBRT treatment, the treatments will be given at St George's Cancer Care Centre.

Barrigel

Due to its close proximity to the prostate, the rectum is most at risk for radiation exposure. If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are planning to undergo radiation therapy, you may want to consider a Barrigel rectal spacer to help minimize potential short and long-term bowel complications.
