Synopsis The Prostate Cancer Owner's Manual by : Harley A. Haynes, MD
A vital overview of prostate cancer for the millions of men that are suffering and their loved ones The moment the family doctor says, “You might have prostate cancer,” most patients immediately ask themselves, “Am I going to die?” Their life is turned upside down as they are faced with a scary new reality they likely know little about. Patients must familiarize themselves with strange new medical terminology, tests, procedures, and, worst of all, major changes to their bodies. The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual offers clarity on these topics to help readers and their loved ones get through this life-changing diagnosis that will take years to overcome. Harley Haynes, MD, and Richard Miles have both been there and done that. As prostate cancer survivors, they understand the questions that recently diagnosed patients have and the challenges they face. Here, they provide a blend of medical expertise and personal knowledge and insight to help patients and their families make sense of the road ahead of them—equipping them with the facts they need to make informed decisions and confront prostate cancer head on. Haynes and Miles answer the questions readers may have and detail the possible outcomes they will face—without mincing words about the tough realities of living with prostate cancer—while offering hope for recovery.

Synopsis The Prostate Cancer Owner's Manual by : Richard M. Miles
The Prostate Cancer Owner's Manual was written to help the 3.1 million American men who have prostate cancer and the 191,000 more who will develop it this year. It is not a medical textbook, but a practical user's guide. Since the two authors - one a medical doctor -- have "been there, done that" they are more than qualified to provide readers with real-world insights.The "Owner's Manual" provides? ?Abundant facts and explanations about the disease, ?Collects and presents data about the on-going test-or-don't-test debate, ?Information about treatments and multiple possible physical reactions,?Details on the physiological impact of prostate cancer and its treatment, and?Data on who gets PCa, what diets are good, and whether you can avoid it.For these reasons, and many more, the "Owner's Manual" is very much a book written for patients and those close to them. The authors -- as well as expert prostate cancer doctors -- firmly believe "that men and those close to them must be prepared for what they may confront -- and not be surprised by changes in their bodies and minds." As the cliché goes, "forewarned is forearmed."

Synopsis Manual of Prostate Cancer by : Luis Mendoza
This publication about prostate cancer is part of a continuing public and professional education program. During the last decade the therapeutic spectrum of prostate cancer has changed dramatically. This prostate cancer manual is intended to present the complex nature of this cancer, the standard treatments and new therapeutic alternatives that have recently been approved and bring new possibilities of a cure. This manual is not intended as a substitute for professional healthcare. It is a preliminary guide to educate patients about treatment options and about the disease itself, so they will be better prepared to discuss it with their health care practitioners. Due to the high level of the scientific information content, this manual is also for students of medicine and healthcare professionals in general.
