By Advanced Urology ·
What's the short answer?
No treatment can promise that.
Vanquish aims to control cancer in a targeted area.
Because Vanquish treats a portion of the prostate instead of all of it, follow-up with PSA tests and MRI, and at times biopsies, is needed.
A repeat Vanquish treatment is possible, and long-term data are still coming in.
Other treatments remain available if needed.
When should you see a urologist about this?
If you're considering Vanquish, schedule a visit to review expected results for your cancer.
What is a visit like from south Hall?
Oakwood and Flowery Branch readers are welcomed at the Old Winder Highway office in Braselton while the Mundy Mill Road clinic, Suite D&E, gets ready to open. Visits include a conversation, an exam and testing that helps answer your question.
How is this handled for south Hall patients?
Our urologists help Oakwood and Flowery Branch patients understand PSA trends, MRI findings and biopsy reports. When cancer is found, they explain active surveillance, robotic surgery, radiation, hormone therapy and newer medicines, and the visit moves at your pace.
How do Oakwood-area patients get ready?
South Hall patients can prepare by noting their symptoms, collecting PSA values or scan reports from other offices, and listing medicines. Our team can request outside records if you share where they are.
When should you phone our team?
Call (678) 344-8900 if your symptoms change, a scan or PSA result arrives, or you would like a second look at a plan. Tell our team you are in Oakwood or Flowery Branch.

Yes. Mundy Mill Road draws blood and runs office tests, and every Advanced Urology office can see the results.
