Welcome, healthcare leaders, to the latest issue of MD News Mid Hudson. Remarkable advances in recent years mean cancer patients can avail themselves of an array of advanced treatments and wide-ranging supportive services. However, it can be difficult to find that full spectrum of care outside major metropolitan areas and academic medical centers, and patients often must choose between burdensome travel away from their homes and families and less-than- comprehensive treatment. Health Quest works to ensure patients can receive comprehensive care locally by bolstering its high-tech oncolog y capabilities and broadening the scope of its Supportive Care Medicine program. Our cover feature examines the strides Health Quest has taken to bring the highest level of care to patients in the region. Treating ca ncer effectively is a ba la ncing act, as evidenced by a feature in our special clinical section about men's health. We examine new findings regard- ing the risk of cognitive decline among prostate cancer patients who undergo androgen deprivation. We also review research suggesting a key mechanism by which smoking damages sperm. In addition, we round up significant local happenings in medicine in People in the News and Local News. MD News ca n play a v ita l role in disseminating information about your organization's treatments and technologies to physicians regionwide.
