Description

Now, 21 top prostate cancer experts from around the US have combined their expertise to answer the questions that their patients ask them when they have to decide on a treatment. All the options are covered, including surgery, hormonal treatment, "watchful waiting", external beam radiation, and perhaps most important, radioactive seed implantation (brachytherapy), a topic that is newly emerging and is given short shrift in other books. The lead authors are from the Seattle Prostate Institute, a pioneering group in this therapy. Contributors are from some of the top cancer institutions in the US, including experts from the Mayo Clinic, Cornell University and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, and other prestigious medical centres around the country. Together they address the concerns they hear from their patients and offer them state-of-the-art treatment information. The book features true stories of men who've made different treatment choices.
