Prostate cancer is the most enigmatic of the common solid malignancies. Second only to lung cancer as a killer of men beyond middle age, the disease warrants more attention than it currently receives. The majority of men, as they age, harbor small foci of adenocarcinoma within the prostate that never become clinically significant. Consequently, worries about overdiagnosis and overtreatment have deflected doctors from the task of identifying and treating earlier the more aggressive lesions that result in such significant morbidity and mortality.
Written by two leading experts and now in its fifth edition, Fast Facts: Prostate Cancer reviews the current methods of identifying clinically significant cancers and the most appropriate treatment options for men at different stages of disease. Not just for hospital doctors, this practical, comprehensive handbook will prove an invaluable resource for all those who care for men - and their families - affected by prostate cancer.
