The minute that your urologist tells you that your biopsy is positive for prostate cancer, don't panic. I have been there and that is why this book is written. Here are ten facts: 1. Identifying cancerous cells in a biopsy of prostate gland is more difficult than identifying any other cancerous cells in biopsies of any other organs. 2. Laboratories often make mistakes, especially the laboratory that determined I had prostate cancer when I really did not. 3. Elevated PSA and MRI scanning is not accurate to determine prostate cancer, especially if you have an infection that elevates PSA. 4. If you ask your physician that you need to get a second opinion, s/he would refer you to urologists in his/her circle, locally. More than likely, the second opinion will confirm the first opinion of the primary physician. 5. In any surgery, especially prostate cancer surgery, you need to get additional two opinions, and the third one must be out of the state that you reside. 6. Believe it or not, a certain number of surgeons that remove prostate glands do this as a business to make money but careless about your health. 7. After the surgery, you will never know if your prostate was or was not really cancerous. Why? Because the gland is sent to the laboratory to determine that. But if the results are negative, it is too late. The system is rigged. 8. Even if you have prostate cancer, you need to get three (3) opinions as to the procedure. Don't settle for less. 9. Interview both urologist and the surgeon if all three (3) opinions are confirming you have prostate cancer. 10. It is your body and your prostate, read this book before making a drastic decision.

Hospitals and private clinics who rely on pathology reports must take responsibility for their negligence and disclose the third party mistakes that have caused their patients a lifetime of suffering. This book will convince you to take the extra time to get more than one opinion about your cancer diagnosis.This book is packed with research, interviews, and statistics related to prostate cancer. It describes how the author endured the false alarm of being misdiagnosed with Gleason 8 prostate cancer by four different pathologists and two different laboratories. This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about or who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Even if you are in the middle of any type of treatment, this book will increase your awareness about lifesaving issues. It will be your crash course on everything you need to know about prostate health and equip you with the knowledge you need to communicate effectively with your urologist and pathologist.

The purpose of this book is to provide a contemporary overview of the causes and consequences of prostate cancer from a cellular and genetic perspective. Written by experts in the fields of epidemiology, toxicology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, cell-cell interactions, cell signaling, hormone signaling, and transcriptional regulation, the text covers aspects of prostate cancer from disease initiation to metastasis. Chapters explore in depth the cells of origin for prostate cancer, its genomic subtypes, neural transcription factors in disease progression, epigenetic regulation of chromatin, and many other topics. This book distinguishes itself from other texts on prostate cancer by its focus on cellular and genetic mechanisms, as opposed to clinical diagnosis and management. As a result, this book will be of broad interest to basic and translational scientists with familiarity of these topics, as well as to trainees at earlier stages of their research careers.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an important innovative treatment for various primary and metastatic cancers. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the physical/technological, biological, and clinical aspects of SBRT. It will serve as a detailed resource for this rapidly developing treatment modality. The organ sites covered include lung, liver, spine, pancreas, prostate, adrenal, head and neck, and female reproductive tract. Retrospective studies and prospective clinical trials on SBRT for various organ sites from around the world are examined, and toxicities and normal tissue constraints are discussed. This book features unique insights from world-renowned experts in SBRT from North America, Asia, and Europe. It will be necessary reading for radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents and fellows, medical physicists, medical physics residents, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and cancer scientists.

This volume focuses on our current understanding of the molecular underpinnings of prostate cancer and their potential application for precision medicine approaches. The emergence and applications of new technologies has allowed for a rapid expansion of our understanding of the molecular basis of prostate cancer and has revealed a remarkable genetic heterogeneity that may underlie the clinically variable behavior of the disease. The book consists of five sections which provide insight about the following: (1) General principles; (2) Molecular signatures of primary prostate cancer; (3) Molecular signatures of advanced prostate cancer; (4) Key molecular pathways in prostate cancer development and progression; (5) and Precision medicine approach: Diagnosis, treatment, prognosis. Precision Molecular Pathology of Prostate Cancer is an important resource for the practicing oncologist, urologist, and pathologist, and will also be useful for researchers in the prostate cancer community.
