Description
Ease your fear of prostate cancer and its life-impairing treatment side effects with an understanding of the disease and the new, non-invasive modalities.
The Prostate Cancer Revolution reveals a new world of medical options for the 200,000+ men diagnosed annually with prostate cancer. Backed by compelling data about new ultrasound and MRI imaging technologies, Dr. Bard offers a way to overcome what men fear most:
- Dreaded random rectal biopsies using 10-14 needles with often inaccurate findings
- Being rushed into a whole-gland treatment (surgery, radiation)
- Not being told the truth about side effect risks
- Missed time from work during treatment and recovery
- Leaking urine, having to wear pads or diapers
- Not being able to perform sexually
- Tumors and their blood supply are precisely identified
- If a biopsy is necessary, needle samples are taken only from the known tumor(s) for highly accurate findings
- Advanced imaging is used to plan and deliver minimally invasive, painless outpatient targeted treatments that destroy tumors without urinary or sexual side effects
