Prostate Cancer Canada PSA

"With The Snap of a Glove"
Prostate Cancer is the number one cancer for Canadian men. 1 in 6 of us will be diagnosed with this disease and it is on the rise. If detected and treated in its earliest stages, the chances of successful treatment is 90%. I hope by writing this book and telling my story that I will be able to increase awareness to a much higher level by telling one man’s story of the fight and survival. We can take this disease on face to face and the answer is simple....early detection..!

Winning the Battle Against Prostate Cancer
by Dr. Chodak MD
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men with almost 200,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. Today increasing numbers of men and their families play a more active role in their treatment and the results can be seen in the increase of men who survive prostate cancer. Yet each over 27,000 men die from prostate cancer. This makes prostate cancer the second leading cause of cancer death in men behind lung cancer.

The range of controversial therapies and treatments for prostate cancer is greater than that of any other cancer affecting men. This makes it difficult for men and their families to determine what are the best options available. Rarely do doctors agree on which treatment a patient should receive or when they should receive it. And many of the current books on prostate cancer suffer from considerable bias promoting one treatment over another without good scientific evidence.

Winning the Battle Against Prostate Cancer resolves the problem of contradictory and incomplete information. The book is an unbiased and up-to-date look at prostate cancer treatments and therapies. Dr. Chodak lays out the pros and cons of all reasonable treatment options including the chances that a man may have a good result or develop side effects or complications.

Prostate Cancer: A guide for patients
by Dr. Laurence Klotz, Coles Notes Medical Series, Prospero Books, 2000, paperback, 164 pages, $12.95 ISBN: 0774006099 Based on the premise that there are almost always options in the treatment of prostate cancer, this book is decision-oriented, with a minimum of story telling. The author encourages men, as well as their family members, to be involved in the process of tackling the disease – right from the first screening test to choices of therapy.
Dr. Klotz is particularly good at giving simple yet vivid descriptions of the science at work in prostate cancer. You come away with a clear picture of what’s happening at each stage of cancer growth – from understanding the cellular mechanics that make up the prostate to how the gland’s cancer interacts physically and chemically with the rest of the body. He also offers a frank discussion on the odds of recovery, taking into account the cancer’s stage, its progress and which treatment options apply.

Prostate Cancer: All you need to know to take an active part in your treatment by Dr. S. Larry Goldenberg and Dr. Ian M. Thompson, Intelligent Patient Guide, 3rd edition, 2001, paperback, 269 pages, $24.95 ISBN: 0969612559

Now in its third printing, this book expands with each new edition. The authors provide a lot of detail, covering every aspect of the diagnostic, treatment and recovery experience. Graphic illustrations offer a good look at the types of instruments and equipment you're likely to encounter in the hospital.
Dr. Goldenberg and Dr. Thompson have a solid handle on predicting what patients are thinking and feeling. One of the strengths of the book lies in their stories about patients who choose varying treatments or have different perspectives on their situation. A chapter on alternative and complementary therapies also gives a very useful explanation of dietary supplements.
