Dr. Stephen Eulau

Inspired by the stellar work of the Seattle Prostate Institute, Dr. Eulau became active in transperineal prostate implantation in the mid 1990’s, establishing the ultrasound guided prostate implant program at Stanford University.  Given the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Drs. Grimm, Sylvester, and Blasko, he joined the Seattle group in 1998 and has been active in research and teaching at the Seattle Prostate Institute since then.  His investigational work has been presented across the country at national meetings.  He has guided the establishment of prostate implant programs in other sites across the western United States, and physicians continue to request consultations on challenging cases.  Dr. Eulau is unique in that his expertise spans both permanent seed implantation as well as temporary high dose rate (HDR) implantation.  He and HDR pioneer, Timothy Mate, M.D. have been involved in refining this technique as it is practiced at centers of excellence throughout the country.

Exemplary clinical care built on a “one patient at a time” philosophy is the core of Dr Eulau’s practice.  His goal is to optimize patient outcome in terms of cancer free survival, as well as quality of life, by individualizing treatment decisions.

Dr. Eulau serves as the Director of Education for the Seattle Prostate Institute.  Each year the Institute trains scores of physicians in the techniques involved with excellence in prostate seed implantation.
