Dimitrios Papadopoulos, MD, Medical Director of Health Quest Oncology Services, recently spoke at a meeting of the Men to Men (M2M) Prostate Cancer Education and Information Support Program about the use of Xofigo at Health Quest. Xofigo is a new treatment option for prostate cancer pa - tients with painful bone metastasis. Vassar Brothers Medical Center is currently the only institution in the Hudson Valley to offer this treatment. "Xofigo is appropriate for patients with prostate cancer who are resistant to medical or surgical treatments that lower testoster - one and where the disease has spread to the bones but not to other parts of the body," Dr. Papadopoulos says. "The clinical data which led to FDA approval showed not only symptomatic relief but also an enhanced survival benefit. We are the only healthcare facility in the region to provide this option to prostate cancer patients, and we look forward to educating the public about it."
