Summary:
"Each year, more than 230,000 men are diagnosed with
prostate
cancer
, and 30 to 40 percent of patients who are diagnosed will eventually relapse. But the good news is that more men are being cured of this disease than ever before. Now in a revised third edition, this lifesaving
guide
by
Dr
.
Patrick
Walsh
and award-winning science writer Janet Farrar Worthington offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness.
Prostate

is a different disease in every man, which means that the right treatment varies for each man. Readers will discover their risk factors, simple changes that can reduce the risk of developing the disease, treatment options, and more."--From publisher.
