About this item

Addressing an issue that affects more than 200,000 men per year, this book provides insight into symptoms, risk factors, diagnoses, and treatment options, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. It also covers cryosurgery—one of the most exciting advances in the treatment of prostate cancer to date—a minimally invasive therapy that freezes prostate cells, avoids the harmful properties of radiation, and has fewer complications than traditional surgery. This updated edition includes information on the most recent procedures that are available to patients.
