The Prostate Cancer Treatment Book

Product Description
The management of early stage prostate cancer is controversial for several reasons. First, it is unclear which men have cancers that will progress to kill them. For many men, prostate cancer is not a threat to their lives, but which men are these? Second, the treatments for prostate cancer have serious quality-of-life-altering side effects like impotence and incontinence. Third, no randomized study has documented that radical prostatectomy improves survival of men with early stage prostate cancer.
