PROSTATE CANCER: A Cleveland Clinic Guide
By Eric
Klein, M.D.
A
Timely Guide for Reducing the Risks and Successfully Treating
Prostate Cancer
(March 2006)
PROSTATE CANCER: A Cleveland Clinic Guide by Eric
Klein, M.D. gives prostate cancer patients what they need
most: substantive information from an authoritative source
that is trusted by people all over the world — The Cleveland
Clinic. This Cleveland Clinic Guide is one of a series
of new books written by physicians from the world-renowned
Cleveland Clinic. The Clinic’s experts view early detection of
prostate cancer and reduction of risk as vital. PROSTATE
CANCER: A Cleveland Clinic Guide outlines what all men,
even those as young as 21, must do to reduce their risk of
prostate cancer; for those who have been diagnosed with the
disease, it outlines successful treatments.
If men in 2006
have a single common fear, it is prostate cancer, easily the
most common cancer in males over age 50. It will strike more
than 230,000 this year — and this is only those men whose
prostate cancer has been identified. There are undoubtedly
many in this age group who have prostate cancer right now and
don’t know it. Overall, men have a 17 percent chance of
developing the disease and a mortality rate of about 3
percent. It’s important to note that of all the cancers that
beset men, prostate cancer is perhaps the most curable when
detected early. When the cancer is still confined to the
prostate, the five-year survival rate is 100 percent, and the
10-year survival rate is 75 percent. Compare this to lung
cancer, where the overall five-year survival rate is less than
15 percent.
PROSTATE
CANCER: A Cleveland Clinic Guide explains the anatomy and
function of the prostate gland and provides a thorough
overview of prostate cancer. Topics covered include:
PROSTATE
CANCER: A Cleveland Clinic Guide is fully indexed and
illustrated.
