Dx/Rx: Prostate Cancer coveres initial management of the disease with current, detailed outcome data for surgery, radiation and brachytherapy and complications of advanced disease.

Prostate Cancer disease is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer diagnosed in both sexes, surpassing lung, breast, and colon cancer. The diagnosis and management of this disease have become considerably more complex over the past few years with the introduction of routine PDA (prostate-specific antigen) testing, newer techniques to deliver high-dose, yet contained, radiation, and new chemotherapy options. Treatment options for this disease are equally diverse and include surgery, brachytherapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy. This reference packages the nuances of the management of prostate cancer into a comprehensive yet concise resource.
