This seminar is part of The Wellness Community’s professional support services offered to prostate cancer patients and their loved ones, including a monthly networking group and a bi-weekly support group.

Dr. Princenthal’s seminar will focus on new advances in Prostate MRI, detection and staging. “This new prostate MRI technique, now available in our community, provides critical information to men and their physicians in our outpatient center, so there is no need to drive to a university setting,” says Dr. Princenthal. Dr. Princenthal received his M.D. from Penn State University College of Medicine. He completed his residency in diagnostic radiology at Yale Univeristy School of Medicine and completed a fellowship at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Princenthal practices with Rolling Oaks Radiology in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Simi Valley.

Conejo Valley resident John Shwope is an advocate of prostate MRI after benefitting from a visit to Dr. Princenthal. “I was unaware that they had this instrument in Thousand Oaks and I immediately set an appointment,” says Shwope. “The scan results and Dr. Princenthal’s detailed diagnosis helped find the proper treatment modality and helped with the accurate administration of the treatment.”

Prostate cancer patients and their loved ones are invited to the monthly Networking Group, held the third Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m. Prostate cancer patients and survivors are invited to the Support Group which meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Both groups are led by psychologist Kevin Axelrad, Ph.D and are held at The Wellness Community Valley/Ventura, 530 Hampshire Road, Westlake Village.
