Dr. Richard Stock is Professor and Chair of Radiation Oncology at the Barbara and Maurice A. Dean Prostate Health and Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Stock is a pioneer in the development of state-of-the-art approaches for radioactive seed implantation in the treatment of prostate cancer. He leads the development of this area as an integral component of the Center's activity in the treatment of localized, locally advanced, and recurrent prostate cancer. He also coordinates combination approaches using radiation treatment and orchestrates research programs in this area.
The Barbara and Maurice A. Deane Prostate Health and Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine/Mount Sinai Hospital represents a new and unique concept in men's health. The Center brings together multiple disciplines and their support services to provide state-of-the-art assessment and care in a comprehensive and coordinated manner for all conditions involving the prostate. Important to this mission is the provision of the necessary infrastructure to support clinical investigations of new ideas and to broaden further opportunities for advancement in our understanding of the various conditions.
Within this collaborative atmosphere, the program acts as a catalyst for translational activities (i.e., basic scientific research with direct clinical application) by investigators at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine to further interest and enhance opportunities for new avenues in diagnosis and treatment. In bringing together multiple clinical disciplines to provide state-of-the-art assessment and care in a fully supported investigative atmosphere, the Center provides immediate access to information and expertise empowering individuals and their families to choose their own path of care.
