Dr Walsh Guide To Surviving Prostate Cancer . This new edition may well be the ultimate book on surviving prostate cancer. The book is updated to include the most recent advancements in advanced prostate cancer treatment. This year, an estimated 31,500 American men will die of prostate cancer, and more than 198,000 will be diagnosed with the disease. Dr. Walsh discusses the risk factors for prostate cancer, including age, race, family history, and diet. He also discusses why prostate cancer is prevelant in the West but but not among Asian men. But with early diagnosis and better treatments, the medical establishment has made progress towards defeating prostate cancer. This invaluable guide covers every aspect of prostate cancer, from potential causes to diagnosis, treatments, and innovative means of controlling advanced stages of cancer. It also addresses impotence and incontinence after surgery, tells men what to look for in a surgeon, and features a section on alternative medicine. With an extensive glossary, index, and listing of where to get help, this comprehensive book is the definitive guide on prostate cancer. Patrick C. Walsh, M.D., is the director of the Department of Urology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and pioneer of the revolutionary, now-standard operation in which the prostate is removed but potency and continence are preserved. The recipient of numerous awards and honors, he has appeared as an expert consultant on such national programs as Good Morning America, Larry King Live, 20/20, and The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
