title: New multidisciplinary prostate bone metastases clinic: first of its kind in Canada.
abstract: Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy in men. Almost all men who die from prostate cancer have hormone-refractory prostate cancer with metastasis to bone. Emerging supportive treatments-including chemotherapy, bisphosphonates, and surgery-require integration that is optimized in a multidisciplinary setting. A multidisciplinary clinic for bone metastases has been in place at Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre since 1999, combining orthopedic surgery, radiation oncology, interventional radiology, and palliative medicine for all patients with bone metastases. The addition of a prostate-focused multidisciplinary clinic integrates these services for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
