Infusion Therapy Center
Chesapeake Urology’s infusion therapy center is a state-of-the-art center designed for a superior patient experience. The dedicated and experienced treatment team understands that expert care coupled with compassionate support can put your mind at ease when beginning infusion therapy for your advanced prostate cancer.
The infusion therapy center team includes physicians who are present during all infusions to provide medical oversight for treatments, a center manager and dedicated infusion therapy nurses.
The infusion therapy center is a warm, open environment with five personal infusion areas designed for comfort. Reclining chairs and TVs in each infusion area add to the experience and comfort of our patients and the bright space is filled with natural light streaming in through walls of windows.
Patients can choose to talk with other patients undergoing the autologous cellular immunotherapy (PROVENGE) treatment, or have privacy by drawing the curtains to the personal infusion area. Many of our patients find it a source of comfort and camaraderie to talk with other men undergoing infusion therapy.
Our staff also encourages support for wives and caregivers. We understand
that advanced prostate cancer and treatment can also be emotional for
spouses and partners, which is why our staff helps connect caregivers
for additional support. It’s all part of the holistic and compassionate
approach to cancer care that is the hallmark of Chesapeake Urology care.
