Just some more info

Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia is a Center of Excellence for prostate cancer treatment and research. Each year thousands of men from all over the world come to Atlanta to receive treatment for prostate cancer at RCOG.
  • RCOG is the oldest prostate seed implant program in the world.
  • The first prostate implant for prostate cancer was performed in 1977, and the first patient was treated with the combination therapy now called ProstRcision in 1979.
  • RCOG is the only source for ProstRcision, in which 2 forms of radiation therapy are used to destroy the prostate gland. Over 1,000 men are treated annually and close to 10,000 men have received treatment with ProstRcision.
  • RCOG maintains a computerized ProstRcision database. Using this data, doctors can accurately calculate the likelihood of cure for each individual by comparing the PSA, Gleason Score and stage of each new patient's cancer with men with the same factors who previously received treatment at RCOG.
  • Cure rates at RCOG are calculated using a PSA of 0.2 ng/ml. RCOG is the only radiation facility in the United States to use this standard of cure which is the same for radical prostatectomy.
  • RCOG has been responsible for more published research papers on prostate cancer than any other facility in Georgia.
