Opis

Although rare before the age of 40, the incidence of prostate cancer increases rapidly thereafter. It is likely that it is present in 20% of men at 50 years of age, doubling with each decade until it reaches about 80% by the age of 80. This book provides details of all the currently available information concerning the causes, prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, and aims to explain all aspects of the disease in terms that can be easily understood. It deals with the roles of complementary medicine and diet and other aspects for which there is growing evidence, but which many clinicians are reluctant to discuss with their patients. For prostate cancer patients and their families and caregivers, primary care and family physicians, and urologists.
