Product Description
Radical prostatectomy is still the most widely recommended treatment for prostate cancer. Yet, according to a recent study, only one out of every forty-eight men who undergo this debilitating procedure survives longer than those who forgo surgery. Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers reports the latest thinking on prostate cancer management in clear, easy-to-understand prose. In a unique collaboration, a patient and his doctor provide a new perspective on living with this disease. Ralph Blum’s surprisingly entertaining twenty-year journey and eventual decision to treat his cancer as a “chronic condition,” together with Dr. Mark Scholz’s presentation of the newest scientific evidence, will liberate thousands of newly diagnosed men to pursue a noninvasive approach and thereby preserve normal sexual and urinary function.

Dr. David Samadi clarifies confusion surrounding the new government recommendation that healthy men forgo PSA screening. As he explains, the panel’s decision is based on older studies of older men, rather than newer studies of younger men – the group most likely to benefit from PSA tests. Since 1990, prostate cancer deaths have decreased 40% as a result of early prostate cancer testing and early diagnosis. Dr. Samadi stresses the need for individualized care explaining that testing healthy, younger men allows them to establish a PSA baseline, from which annual PSA screenings can monitor changes referred to as the PSA velocity.
