Arizona Center for Cancer Care’s Deer Valley location in North Phoenix now offers Pluvicto – a breakthrough treatment for prostate cancer.
According to an AZCCC press release, Pluvicto is a new radiopharmaceutical treatment for hormone-resistant metastatic prostate cancer offered at advanced radiation oncology practices. Pluvicto, a directed treatment, prompts radioactive molecules, to selectively bind to the surface of prostate cancer cells and kill them.
"We are delighted to make this life-saving treatment accessible for metastatic prostate cancer patients,” Dr. Justin Famoso shared in a statement. “We remain committed to providing the most advanced treatments for our patients and advancing innovative treatments in the fight against cancer.”
The Deer Valley location is 19646 N. 27th Ave. Arizona Center for Cancer Care has more than 40 offices and 85 physicians across Maricopa County. Click here for a location near you.
AZ Center for Cancer Care treats more than 30,000 Valley residents.
