Today, our guest is Tom, a 67-year-old retired senior executive who found it challenging to get an accurate diagnosis and find effective treatment for his enlarged prostate. Frustrated by his limited options and with a growing sense of mistrust, he consulted with several providers before realizing he needed the guidance of a prostate health coach.
Tom retired as a senior IT executive with over 40 years of experience leading transformative technology strategies to drive business growth for global organizations. He led global IT initiatives for Fortune 500 companies across various industries, including financial services, retail, media, manufacturing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
It is hardly surprising that Tom struggled with an enlarged prostate, since 70% of men over the age of 60 suffer from BPH. We are excited to have him on the podcast today to discuss his BPH experience and share how the Prostate Health Academy gave him the tools and confidence he needed to navigate his treatment process.
Stay tuned for more!

We are delighted to partner with Western Radiation Oncology today, with two of their distinguished radiation oncologists joining us on the Prostate Health Podcast.
LDR (Low Dose Rate) prostate brachytherapy has recently been an underutilized treatment for prostate cancer. However, advancements in modern techniques have demonstrated that LDR brachytherapy, a procedure that can be performed quite easily in an ambulatory surgery center, offers high cure rates with minimal long-term complications, making it a convenient, non-invasive option for men with prostate cancer.
Today, we chat with Dr. Steven Kurtzman and Dr. Ankit Agarwal, two distinguished radiation oncologists working to expand access to LDR brachytherapy by partnering with urologists to establish new programs across the United States.
Drs. Kurtzman and Agarwal are national leaders in targeted real-time intraoperative planned brachytherapy. With over 7,000 implants performed in the past two decades and more than 700 procedures conducted annually, they have managed to preserve this specialized technique despite its limited expansion in recent years. Based primarily in the Bay Area, California, they provide exceptional cancer care while collaborating with urologists, medical oncologists, and prostate cancer specialists across the United States to assist in establishing LDR programs in ambulatory surgery centers nationwide to provide high-quality prostate cancer care.
Tune in to learn more about this promising treatment option!
