The major reference book for men concerned about or diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer has become the most-diagnosed cancer in America and the second leading killer of men. Sadly, more than 189,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease in 2002. Dr. Sheldon Marks, a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, is the authority that many have come to depend on--both in his practice and through his book, Prostate and Cancer--when cancer has posed a threat. Now completely updated and revised to reflect the latest research in drug therapies and treatments, traditional surgical techniques, "minimally invasive" techniques, and methods to combat impotence and incontinence, Prostate and Cancer is more essential than ever. Dr. Marks has been praised for his user-friendly question-and-answer format and his ability to cover everything from who is at risk and what is involved in an evaluation to options for treatment. Indeed, Prostate and Cancer is the definitive source of information on prostate cancer today and has long been recognized as such by the recommendations of readers and urologists alike.

Summary: Answers When you Need It
Comment: This is an exellent guide Prostate And Cancer: A Family Guide To Diagnosis, Treatment And Survival (3rd Edition). Any man diagnosed with prostate cancer should read it before making any treatment decisions. After my biopsy confirmed cancer, my doctor asked me to read this book prior to our meeting regarding treatment. It was a great help and alleviated some fear. If you are in a relationship, your wife/partner should read it also. Another book you should read is Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer, Second Edition. Both books should be required reading for all men.

Summary: A thanks to Sheldon Marks.
Comment: I was loaned this book by my Urologist Surgeon before undergoing Radical Prostatectomy 4 weeks ago. I have read the book from cover to cover and have since purchased the book as an ongoing reference. I have found this book absolutely necessary to making earlier decisions, and to my on going future.

Summary: Prostate Cancer Learning Tools
Comment: There are many treatment options open to the person diagnosed with prostate cancer. Of course, those available options are related to the specific qualities of the cancer. The person diagnosed with prostate cancer must have knowledge of these options, not only because that is the only way to understand what's going on, but more importantly, because he will ultimately be the one making the teatment option decision. The Sheldon Marks book discusses prostate cancer and the treatment options in a clear concise question / answer format. For myself, I relied on four sources to gather the information needed to make my own traetment option. Three of those sources were flesh and blood doctors. The fourth was this book.

Summary: EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Comment: A necessary foundation to begin the process of learning about prostrate cancer, what to ask when going to the doctor, and help in deciding which treatment is best.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Extremely thorough, easy to read
Comment: My wife and I found this book to be extremely user-friendly. My doctor suggested this book before I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it helped us understand the entire diagnosis process. It is completely up-to-date, including nutritional discussions, and it was the best resource we found that discusses all of our treatment options objectively. It was by far the easiest to use and understand compared to some of the other books available--it wasn't preachy and it didn't talk down to the reader. This book has become a well-worn companion of ours and we highly recommend it to anyone that has questions or concerns about their prostate health in general.
