Prostate Cancer cover

Understanding prostate diseases without the proper and reliable guidance can be overwhelming because the internet, television and print media saturate us with information ranging from scientific studies across the world to inspiring stories from cancer survivors to many myths and rumors. How do we interpret all that information? This book intends to help patients and their families to know and understand their diagnosis. Once this has been established, the reader can confidently determine the best choice of treatment, resting assured that the guidance in this book adheres to current international medical standards and has been influenced by the authors' many years of professional experiences. The editors aim to transmit, in a simple and precise manner, only relevant and necessary information to help patients and families that have been diagnosed with prostate diseases.

From the book reviews:

“The purpose is to provide a guide for patients or other concerned readers who want to understand prostate cancer or prostate-related diseases. The book gives a most up-to-date summary of the available information in this area. The audience includes patients who have been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer or prostate-related diseases or concerned individuals.” (Jeanne Llenado, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)
