Synopsis

The Dattoli Prostate Cancer Solution provides the most up to date, lifesaving advice from a team of leading cancer care specialists to guide patients step by step through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you owe it to yourself to become 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. 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 including seed implants (brachytherapy) and 4-Dimensional, Image-Guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (4D IG-IMRT), the revolutionary treatment breakthrough now being used to cure men previously considered incurable by surgery or any other means. In a special Facts chapter, the authors elaborate the pros and cons of all currently available treatment options, including the most sophisticated treatment protocol, Dyanamic Adaptive Radiation Therapy (DART).
