DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn indispensable map through the medical minefield of prostate cancer, revised and updated with the latest developments in treatment options. Every year almost a quarter of a million confused and frightened American men are tossed into a prostate cancer cauldron stirred by salespeople representing a multibillion-dollar industry. Patients are too often rushed into a radical prostatectomy, a major operation that rarely prolongs life and more than half the time leaves them impotent. Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers argues that close monitoring—active surveillance rather than surgery or radiation—should be the initial treatment approach for many men at the low- and intermediate-risk stages. In a unique collaboration, doctor and patient provide a wholly new perspective on managing this disease. Ralph Blum’s account of his personal struggle, together with Dr. Mark Scholz’s presentation of new scientific advances, offers convincing evidence that this noninvasive approach can be crucial in preventing tens of thousands of men from being overtreated each year. This revised and updated second edition: -Highlights the latest prostate cancer treatment options that preserve erectile and urinary function while prolonging lifespan -Establishes updated protocol for how to accurately interpret high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) while avoiding the invasive, dangerous random biopsy -Recounts true patient stories that accurately represent the hurdles today’s patients face while navigating a prostate cancer diagnosis -Introduces the latest evidence in the radiation vs. radical prostatectomy debate -Presents the latest thinking on diet and exercise for men with prostate cancer

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe niche bestseller "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style.The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has known many men who suffered from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery: impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion.Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the "Journal of Urology" lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery," Dr. Pitts said: "Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I've abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option.""Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that about 90% of all prostate cancer surgery done to date has failed to extend the life of the patient," says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book's author, who adds, "This will be news to most men.""Surgery should not be advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer," says Dr. Hennenfent, "although surgery does increase the lifespan of about 10% of highly selected patients, and improvements in surgery are constantly being developed.""My book details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active surveillance, noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade."
