A prostate biopsy is one of the most conclusive diagnostic tests available for detecting prostate cancer, and patients from the Boca Raton area of Florida are welcome to come to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa to have the procedure performed by our expert surgical team. If prostate cancer is found, patients can rely on our team for individualized treatment without needing to worry about traveling from clinic to clinic, since all of our services, including diagnostics, treatment and supportive care, are held in a single, convenient location. For a patient whose prostate biopsy reveals the presence of cancer, our multispecialty team, which includes surgeons, oncologists, lab personnel and others, meets weekly as a tumor board to review his case and progress, collaboratively tailoring and revising treatment plans to suit his needs.
