The niche bestseller “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes Dr. Gary Onik, M.D., Cryosurgeon and Director of Surgical Imaging at Celebration Health Hospital, Celebration, Florida, who says: “I expect that within five years we will see the death of the radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer.” The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has seen five uncles suffer from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery: impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes oncologist Dr. Robert Leibowitz of Compassionate Oncology Medical Group, who says: “If radical prostatectomies worked, the data would be there. The reason the data is not there is because radical prostatectomies don’t work.” Dr. Leibowitz adds: “No prospective randomized trial has ever found radical prostatectomy to be both necessary and effective.” Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the “Journal of Urology” lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery,” Dr. Pitts said: “Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I’ve abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option.” Dr. Hennenfent co-founded the Prostatitis Foundation (www.prostatitis.org). He also founded the Epididymitis Foundation (www.epididymitisfoundation.org), and the Acoustic Neuroma Foundation (www.acousticneuromafoundation.org). He previously published “The Prostatitis Syndromes.” “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes urologist Ronald Wheeler, M.D. of the Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer Center, who says: “In my opinion, prostatitis resolution holds the key to the future of prostate cancer resolution.” “Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that 95% or more of all prostate cancer surgery done to date, has failed to extend the life of the patient,” says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book’s author. “Surgery should no longer be presented or advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer,” says Dr. Hennenfent. “My book is all about the options to harmful surgery. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery,” details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade.
