In 1998, a routine blood test showed Thomas had a concerning level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and a follow-up biopsy found slow-growing cancer in his prostate. More than 25 years later, when ongoing observation indicated the cancer was getting worse, Thomas opted to treat it with Henry Ford Health’s new adaptive radiation therapy.
