The director of Florida Hospital/Celebration Health’s prostate cancer research program is Dr. Gary Onik, M.D.
Dr. Onik has pioneered the concept of a “Male Lumpectomy” in which only the cancerous area of the prostate is destroyed by freezing. The Dr. Onik’s results with this procedure, which are now being confirmed by other investigators, show it to provide excellent cancer control. It also gives the patient the best chance of maintaining potency and urinary continence, compared to any other treatment for prostate cancer. Dr Onik’s research in this area was honored by the Society of Uroradiology as the most important research paper at their 2004 annual meeting in Scottsdale Arizona.
