Client Story
Balancing advanced care with complex health needs to battle aggressive cancer.
After previous negative biopsies and a history of elevated PSA levels, a man was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. Given his age (82), large prostate size, and pre-existing ulcerative colitis, traditional treatments like surgery and standard radiation therapy posed significant risks and were ruled out.
His PHM Care Team connected with specialists at a leading medical center and attended medical appointments with the patient to help him understand his options. PHM successfully arranged access to one of the few advanced imaging machines available on the East Coast.
After ordering genetic testing, we discovered an inherited mutation that had implications for his family’s health, particularly his son.
The PHM Approach helped the patient find an innovative solution shortening radiation treatment time.
The treatment plan uncovered required only five sessions instead of the standard 20. The treatment was successful, with PSA levels dropping to nearly zero and no complications from his ulcerative colitis. The Care Team found a cutting-edge treatment option that was both effective and safe, considering the patient’s unique health challenges.
