Meet Dr. Pohlman

I am a board-certified Urologist still actively practicing in a busy private Urology group in the Midwest. Every day I am helping men in diagnosing and managing their prostate issues. Since finishing Urology residency training in 2013, I have already treated over 4,000 men with various prostate conditions. 

Welcome to The Prostate Health Podcast

The Prostate Health Podcast is aimed at giving men the tools they need to be proactive about their healthcare, taking the initiative to maintain their health and to be ready and educated to manage the problems that may come along the way.

Many men refuse to go to the doctor regularly typically waiting to see a medical provider until their symptoms are severe. At times, particularly for many prostate disorders, waiting too long may result in negative outcomes. In the case of benign enlargement of the prostate, potentially suffering irreversible damage to the bladder when left untreated for a period of time. And for prostate cancer screening, potentially missing a window of cure if prostate cancer is not diagnosed early on.

Those drugs were the first in their class to have been approved as personalized therapy for certain individuals with advanced prostate cancer.

Today, we have Dr. Emmanuel Antonarakis, a world-class expert in the area of targeted therapy for prostate cancer, joining us to talk about the two new medications and explain who might be eligible for that kind of therapy. Be sure to stay tuned for more!
