Synopsis

Everything patients and their loved ones need to know to deal with the disease. Millions of men will eventually develop prostate cancer. What's more, as a result of the new PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test, men are becoming aware of prostate problems earlier than ever. Because prostate cancer has a unique profile in each patient, no one treatment is right for everyone. This authoritative, patient-friendly resource helps readers understand exactly what their particular diagnosis means so that they can make informed choices about the many treatment options available. It also offers much-needed positive advice on getting beyond the illness and back to a full life. Covers causes, risk factors, and prevention; diagnostic tests; surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy; and sexuality. * Appendices include sources of financial aid, hotlines, a glossary, and additional reading suggestions.
