About
Welcome to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Prostate Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic (PCMC). Our clinic began in September 2008 as a service to the NCI community. Since then we have expanded our care to include any patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer. The clinic is federally funded. There is no cost to those receiving care at the NIH Clinical Center.
Our clinic is designed to provide the prostate cancer patient with a comprehensive consultation visit to discuss their diagnosis and treatment options. Many participants use this service to get a second opinion.
The clinic is comprised of a panel of physicians and health care providers within urologic oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, radiology and pathology. These specialists come together to examine your case in detail, provide recommendations and determine your treatment options, which include the potential for clinical trial participation at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
