"The big fight against prostate cancer begins with education, which is why this is such an important book. Most men and their families need support as well as up-to-date, clearly presented information about prostate cancer to help them understand and cope with the disease, and this book offers both. I applaud the American Cancer Society for writing it." -- George Foreman
Jerry Lewis's and George Foreman's powerful statements underscore the need for the American Cancer Society's Prostate Cancer: What Every Man -- and His Family -- Needs to Know.
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among Amerian men -- an estimated one out of six men will develop it -- but if detected early, it is also among the most treatable forms of cancer. In fact, due to advances in diagnosis and treatment, the five-year survival rate for prostate cancer increased from 50 percent in the period from 1960 to 1963 to 80 percent between 1981 and 1986.
But most men -- and their families -- lack the most basic information about what to do when confronted with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. This book, written by a team of internationally known and respected medical experts, sets out to explain everything a man needs to know and respected medical experts, sets out to explain everything a man needs to know. Written under the auspices of the American Cancer Society, the nation's leader in cancer research, education, and rehabilitation, it contains all the most up-to-date information about the disease. Even more, it is a patient's advocacy book, offering medical, practical, psychological, social, and emotional support. Through compassionate case histories and anecdotes, it addresses the full range of issues that men with the disease may face, including loss of sexual function, incontinence, loss of self-esteem and creativity, withdrawal from active social and professional life, and turmoil within families and between couples.
