Though it is the most common form of cancer in men, prostate cancer is a disease that is still not fully understood. In this book, the author explains the science behind the disease, details what is known about its origins, and shows how it is screened, diagnosed, and treated. Using easily accessible text, sidebars, and substantial captions to help explain prostate cancer, the book then highlights a number of clinical tests and new therapies that are being used in treating the disease.
