In 2001 an estimated 31,900 American men will die of prostate cancer, and more than 184,000 will be diagnosed with the disease. But now there is earlier diagnosis and better treatment as the medical establishment makes progress towards defeating this illness. This guide covers every aspect of prostate cancer, from potential causes, including diet, to tests for diagnosis, curative treatment and innovative means of controlling advanced stages of cancer. It also addresses the sensitive issues of impotence and incontinence after surgery, tells men what to look for in a surgeon, and features a section on alternative medicine.
