Book Description
Unlike any other book on the subject, Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery provides the most up-to-date information and lifesaving advice from three essential points of view -- physician, nurse, and patient-survivor. Three leading cancer care specialists guide readers step by step through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, covering both the physical and emotional challenges of the disease. The authors share their knowledge and experience as members of the prestigious Dattoli Cancer Center & Brachytherapy Research Institute of Sarasota, Florida.
Publisher Description
Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer owe it to themselves to become fully informed about the disease and to know all their treatment options. As reported by the authors, the good news is there has been great medical progress in recent years and prostate cancer is now a highly treatable disease, one that can be cured without major surgery and its high risk of complications. Their book surveys the results of recent studies of all primary treatment options and discusses the pros and cons of each, addressing both cure rates and quality of life issues.
For most patients who are diagnosed early, the choice of treatment most often comes down to radiation versus surgery (radical prostatectomy), either with or without some form of hormonal therapy. Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery provides the latest medical data and explains why more men are now avoiding surgery and instead choosing state-of-the-art radiation therapy such as seed implants (brachytherapy) and IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy).
