Department of Urologic Surgery

Vanderbilt is one of the largest volume hospitals in the world for treatment of prostate cancer.  We have performed over 5,000 radical prostatectomies and more than 2,000 robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgical procedures.  We offer cryotherapy, interstitial brachytherapy and state of the art external beam irradiation.  We are one of a select number of centers nationally investigating high intensity ultrasound (HIFU).

At Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, some 20 board-certified physicians — including specialists in Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Medical Oncology, Pathology, Anesthesiology, and Psychiatry — work together as a team to provide optimal care to prostate cancer patients.
