SpaceOar and Other Objects

To all men:

If you are contemplating radiation therapy for prostate cancer, please, please, please, consider SpaceOar hydrogel injection to protect your rectum after your treatment. It is a simple, painless and quick procedure to prevent lots of problems with fecal incontinence and rectal bleeding and pain down that long road. We provide this as an outpatient procedure associated with MD Anderson Cancer Center in League City, Texas. Email me at medimage@utmb.edu for details.
