This is a short clip by Dr. Herb Riemenschneider originally produced in 2012. Dr. Herb discusses the controversy of PSA that made headlines as well as the fact that it was and still is the gold standard for prostate cancer screening. He also discusses the urine test PCA3, as well as the 3T MRI which allows us to essentially look inside the prostate. Other topics include active surveillance as well as identifying the index lesion and cryoablation which uses cold temperatures to destroy the cancer but leave the prostate in place.

The latest addition in prostate cancer treatment is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU. Dr. Herb performs HIFU in Columbus, Ohio and more information is available at our websites www.HIFUOH.com or www.RiversideUrology.com.
