WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BEAT PROSTATE CANCER

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you owe it to yourself to become fully informed about the disease and to know all your treatment options. The good news is there has been great medical progress in recent years and prostate cancer is now a highly treatable disease.

For most patients who are diagnosed early, the choice of treatment most often comes down to radiation versus radical surgery, either with or without some form of hormonal therapy. This book provides the latest medical data and explains why more men are now avoiding surgery and instead choosing state-of-the-art radiation therapy such as seed implants and IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy).

Unlike any other book on the subject, Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery provides lifesaving advice from three essential points of view -- physician, nurse, and patient-survivor -- three leading cancer care specialists to guide you step by step through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

Michael J. Dattoli, M.D. is a leading radiation oncologist and one of the pioneers in the field of brachytherapy. Dr. Dattoli has published many peer-reviewed studies and has one of the highest cure rates in the country. Jennifer Cash, ARNP, OCN, is an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner and noted author on the subjects of prostate brachytherapy, advanced radiation delivery systems (3D CRT and IMRT) and hormonal therapy. Donald Kaltenbach is the Executive Director of the Dattoli Cancer Center and Brachytherapy Institute in Sarasota, Florida. He is also a prostate cancer survivor of more than 14 years, as well as an author and frequent lecturer for prostate cancer support groups and civic organizations.
