Dr. Beat, Medical Director At Arch Cancer Care

Dr. Beat is the Medical Director at Arch Cancer Care and

leads a team of qualified healthcare professionals specializing

in the treating of prostate cancer. He personally meets with

each man recently diagnosed with a urological cancer at the St.

Louis, MO office and carefully assesses their overall health

status. After carefully reviewing the prostate cancer pathology

and determining the biological behavior of the tumor,

thoughtful consideration of the obtainable treatment options

are discussed with each individual and his family. A

customized course of therapy is recommended and planned.

Dr. Beat’s informative and instructional approach to cancer

care provides patients with knowledge and confidence. Given

the subtle intricacies of prostate cancer management,

“proactive surveillance” or curative treatment is optimized by

a multimodality approach. Engagement of and access to a

Collaborative Care Network gives an additional level of

support for Arch Cancer Care patients who live in St. Louis,

St. Charles, St. Peters, Florissant, and Chesterfield, MO. Careful attention is directed to

decreasing side effects, maintaining sexual function, protecting physical activity and health, and

encouraging positive lifestyle changes.

Dr. Beat trained at Tulane University and Washington University/Barnes Jewish Hospital in St.

Louis, MO. While serving in the U.S. Army at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Brooke

Army Medical Center, LTC, Beat spearheaded the utilization of new technology to enhance the

management and treatment of the high volume of prostate cancer patients in the retired military

population. He also contributed to the Department of Defense Center for Prostate Disease

Research and has taken part in numerous prostate cancer specific clinical research protocols. As

a board-certified radiation oncologist, he serves as a national committee member to assist with

the design and review of prostate cancer treatment pathways for the US Oncology Value

Pathways Powered by NCCN. He and his practice are strong supporters of ZERO, an

organization dedicated to public education and the advocacy to end prostate cancer.

It takes the detailed attention of skilled prostate health experts, an organized support team,

advanced technology, and a unified network of providers to effectively deal with the

complexities of prostate cancer management. Dr. Beat and Arch Cancer Care have created an

environment that concentrates on that challenge for individuals facing it in cities like St. Louis,

St. Charles, St. Peters, Florissant, and Chesterfield, Missouri.
