Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs 2014 focuses on the new tests and safer new treatments that are revolutionizing prostate cancer care today -- with 52 new pages and 4 new chapters than the original PCB edition that has been #1 at Amazon for months. Today, 85% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer receive surgery or radiation, which often impair sexual and bladder function, yet only 15% really need these aggressive treatments. With the new tests, effective and safe newer treatments can often be chosen. In a step by step, easy-reading manner, Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs 2014 describes the tests you need and where to get them, the questions to ask, and how to analyze your results and make your decision informatively.
“Vital new information for men diagnosed with prostate cancer!" —George Johnson, Director of the Informed Prostate Cancer Support Group in San Diego, the largest independent group in California
“I have had treatment for prostate cancer and have been thru the mill. If I were going to go through the process again, I would start with Dr Cohen's book.” —P.C., independent review at Amazon.com
In this highly-praised book, you'll discover:
• Why 85% of men who get surgery or radiation for prostate cancer do not need it.
• Why a high PSA test does not necessarily mean cancer.
• How to tell if you really need a biopsy (many men don’t need one).
• Why a targeted biopsy is superior and safer, and where to get one.
• Why the new prostate DCE-MRI is key to deciding on treatment.
• Genetic tests available today for accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment.
• Alpharadin, the new, targeted treatment for bone metastases.
Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs addresses:
• Why men should continue to get an annual PSA test.
• Why doctors recommend prostate surgery or radiation for men who don’t need it.
• The tests you really need for a full picture of your prostate cancer.
• New treatment options your doctor may not tell you about.
This book will also help you determine:
• If you truly need surgery or radiation therapy (some men do, many men don’t)
• If you are a candidate for active surveillance.
• If medication treatment instead of surgery/radiation is a valid choice for you.
