Prostate cancer nonprofit Us TOO International, in partnership with numerous professional healthcare member organizations, announces the launch of The Prostate Cancer Care Team Hub – an educational website portal for men living with prostate cancer. Content supports the benefit of a prostate cancer patient forming a team of multiple healthcare professionals, each providing specialized expertise. The approach provides the patient with more comprehensive knowledge to help ensure shared decision making. The ultimate purpose is to help more men move closer to an ideal patient experience specific to prostate cancer testing, active surveillance or treatment, and management of side effects.
The Prostate Cancer Care Team Hub features information about the expertise of various healthcare professionals to consider when a man is building his healthcare team with members that may include a: primary care physician, urologist/prostate cancer surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist, genomic/genetic specialist, physician assistant, financial navigator, nurse practitioner, nurse navigator, pelvic floor specialist, sexual health counselor, family caregiver, support group, social worker, pharmacist/specialty pharmacy, and mental health professional. The hub portal also features links to additional resources.
“We’re very pleased to provide the prostate cancer community with access to The Prostate Cancer Care Team Hub,” stated Chuck Strand, CEO of Us TOO. “All of the resources and services provided by Us TOO help to educate and support men with prostate cancer, and their loved ones. The hub portal is a great addition to our online information for building the ideal healthcare team to minimize the impact of prostate cancer and maximize the quality of life.”
