Dr. McGill, an experienced urologist specializing in robotic surgery at Phoebe Urology in Albany, Georgia, brings his expertise in discussing the intricacies of Brachytherapy, understanding Gleason Scores, and the role of Active Surveillance in managing prostate cancer.

Dr. McGill explains how Brachytherapy offers a precise, targeted treatment for prostate cancer, detailing its benefits and suitability for different stages of the disease. He also breaks down the Gleason Score system, which helps in assessing the aggressiveness of prostate cancer and deciding the appropriate treatment pathways.
