Sponsored by Palomar Health The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly two million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer this year. That is why Palomar Health’s dedicated medical team strives to set the highest standards for personalized cancer care, helping patients navigate their journey from diagnosis through treatment so they can focus on healing. Dr. Brian Volpp, Medical Director of Radiosurgery at Palomar Health and Dr. Jonathan Bear, Medical Director of Brachytherapy at Palomar Health, join our Laura Cavanaugh to talk about the four increasing cancer trends that are easily detectable as well as the latest advancements in technology and treatments that they are using to effectively fight cancer. “The benefit of getting screened is that no matter of whether you’re older or younger, if you’re following the guidelines, we can pick cancers up at a much earlier stage. And in doing that, the cure rates are much higher,” said Dr. Volpp. Palomar Health is reimagining cancer care through radiosurgery to consolidate treatment and effectively kill tumors faster. The Palomar Health Cancer Institute is one of a limited number of hospitals in Southern California to utilize a highly targeted internal radiation therapy called high-dose prostate brachytherapy.
