Greetings, physicians and healthcare leaders. Welcome to MD News Central Pennsylvania. Comprehensive, collaborative care for patients undergoing cancer treatment results in optimal outcomes. That's why we are excited to highlight Penn State Health Medical Group's collaboration with Andrews Patel Hematology/ Oncolog y—a dynamic that allows patients in central Pennsylvania the opportunity to receive care that is more effective and cost-efficient. Through greater access to clinical trials via Penn State Cancer Institute, patients are able to stay close to home instead of traveling for advanced medical care options. Another feature takes an in-depth look at Penn State Cancer Institute's widespread efforts to increase colorectal cancer screening rates throughout the region. Engaging in multifaceted research to find less invasive screen- ing options, identifying tests that patients can undergo simultaneously and reinforcing its commitment to patient comfort and satisfaction are the focus of Penn State Cancer Institute's ongoing endeavor. In addition, we discuss Penn State Health St. Joseph Cancer Center's Cancer Risk Evaluation Program, which takes a proactive approach to cancer diagnosis. The program, which provides patients with information, evaluation, genetic counseling and genetic testing, if appropriate, assists providers in developing a realistic assessment of risk status and actionable next steps. Our clinical section on men's health explores male causes of infertility and recurrent miscarriage and highlights a study examining chlamydia as a possible cause of male infertility. A separate article takes a look at research that indicates a decline in prostate cancer deaths in the U.S. and six other countries.
