Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Noted for Prostate Cancer Excellence
The April 2009 issue of Urology Times names Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at The University of Iowa as one of its 15 Clinical Centers of Excellence for prostate cancer.
Because these centers "rise above the pack," the editors say the institutions bring something extra to the specialty through research, patient care, and community outreach. The listing provides physicians with valuable information about where to refer challenging cases.
Richard Williams, MD, head of the UI Department of Urology, noted that collaboration among members of his department and others, including Daniel Vaena, MD, medical oncology, and Mark Smith, MD, radiation oncology, plays a pivotal role in providing excellent care to patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.
