About

Who we are

The Prostate Cancer Outreach Clinic (PCOC) is a joint effort between the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Department of Urology and the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Urology. The outreach clinic falls within Mass General Brigham's United Against Racism (UAR) initiative, as we work diligently to be active contributors to providing equitable access to health care services. 

Our mission

Our goal is to assist in achieving health equity throughout Mass General Brigham’s patient population and surrounding communities by bridging gaps in care delivery and providing equitable and affordable health care services. We strive to reduce prostate cancer sickness and death.

Screening, diagnosing, and treating prostate cancer

Do you have questions about prostate cancer screening methods, diagnosis, or treatment? 

We recognize that navigating prostate cancer can be challenging and have created a specialized clinic to help you receive the care you need.

We offer clinical support that provides prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, if necessary. We can also help you with shared decision making for prostate cancer screening and treatment options, answer any questions you may have, and walk you through every aspect of your care plan.

Have you been diagnosed with prostate cancer?  

Our team specializes in providing state-of-the-art prostate cancer treatments through a multidisciplinary approach so you can consider all your options. Our clinicians will also function as your care team long term.

Providers: Do you have a patient that has questions or needs follow up about prostate cancer care?

We understand that navigating prostate cancer can be challenging and confusing, so we have created a specialized clinic to help your patients get the care they need.

The Mass General Brigham Prostate Cancer Outreach Clinic will serve as a catalyst to bring our communities together through compassionate prostate cancer care.
