Synopsis

Prostate problems eventually trouble more than half of all American males, and cancer of the prostate is the second most common cause of death from cancer among American men. This book on the prostate for general readers is based on an eminent urologist's 30 years of clinical experience. It covers healthy prostate function, the diseases - both malignant and nonmalignant - that can affect the prostate, treatment choices for the different conditions, and any expected aftereffects. He addresses a frequent fear that patients have: loss of sexual potency. Rous looks at the latest developments in treatment for prostate problems. He explains surgical and radiation therapy for cancer of the prostate and fully discusses nonsurgical options. For this newly revised and updated edition, he has added the latest information on the tests and treatments for prostate problems.
