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.
The NIH/NCI Prostate Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic (PCMC) is a telehealth service (at no-cost for the patient) for men newly diagnosed with localized prostate cancer who are seeking a second opinion and/or clinical trial opportunities. This clinic is staffed by the NCI Urology Oncology Branch, the Radiation Oncology Branch, the Medical Oncology Branch, the Genetics Branch, in addition to the Department of Molecular Imaging and Radiology, and the Department of Pathology. These specialists come together to comprehensively examine cases, provide recommendations, and determine potential clinical trial eligibility.
