In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, hosts El and Shay welcome two distinguished physicians from Mercy Urology Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Dr. Matthew Ferroni, a leading urologist specializing in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and Dr. Michael Marquardt, a radiation oncologist treating prostate, lung, and other cancers, share their expertise on treatment decisions for localized prostate cancer.

Together, Dr. Ferroni and Dr. Marquardt explain the similarities and key differences between radical prostatectomy (surgery) and radiation therapy—two options that offer comparable cure rates but vary in side effects, recovery, and suitability for each patient.

This conversation provides essential insights to help men and their families make informed choices, highlighting the importance of early detection and a multidisciplinary approach to prostate cancer care.
