As of 2022, an estimated 268,490 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. A high percentage of those will relapse. But the good news is that more men are being cured of this disease than ever before.
In a new and completely revised 5th edition, this lifesaving guide offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness, and the people who love them. Prostate cancer is a different disease in every man—which means that the right treatment varies for each person. Public awareness for this disease has transformed treatment and opened up new avenues of research; rapid advances in knowledge are being translated in new recommendations for management.
In this book, Dr. Walsh et. al. will address such issues as:
- The genes involved in prostate cancer, genetic tests, and who should get them.
- The powerful effect of lifestyle changes to reduce pro-inflammatory and pro-insulin resistance environments, such as alcohol intake, physical activity, and BMI.
- What high-risk men (particularly African American men) need to know, and when to start screening.
- Information and support for the LGBT community, transgender individuals, and people with prostates.
- New information on testing and imaging.
- Your post-treatment life; how to stay healthy after treatment and manage the side effects of medication, and also how to support caregivers.
- Advice and support for coping with your diagnosis and learning how to live life beyond prostate cancer
