Guest Expert: Dr. Raj Patel is a prostate cancer specialist from Chicago,
Illinois. He offers state of the art treatment options to maximize benefits
and minimize side effects. He helps guide patients in choosing a treatment
plan that is best for them, and more importantly, that they believe in. Dr.
Patel has over ten years of experience with cryotherapy. He has seen the
technology advance and improve. For appropriate patients, he says:
Cryotherapy has given many of my patients successful outcomes when it comes
to their prostate or kidney cancer, with lower side effects compared to
other therapies. His results parallel those reported in larger published
studies that show cryotherapy as good as, and at times better than, open
surgery and radiation.
Dr. Patel received his medical degree at the Albany Medical College (Albany,
NY). His advanced training was completed through the University of Chicago
Medical Center. He is board certified, and a member of the American
Urologic Association and the Endourologic Society.
