## Description

As of 2022, an estimated 268,490 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. A high percentage of those will relapse. But the good news is that more men are being cured of this disease than ever before. In a new and completely revised 5th edition, this lifesaving guide offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness, and the people who love them. Prostate cancer is a different disease in every man-which means that the right treatment varies for each person. Public awareness for this disease has transformed treatment and opened up new avenues of research; rapid advances in knowledge are being translated in new recommendations for management. In this book, Dr. Walsh et. al. will address such issues as: * The genes involved in prostate cancer, genetic tests, and who should get them. * The powerful effect of lifestyle changes to reduce pro-inflammatory and pro-insulin resistance environments, such as alcohol intake, physical activity, and BMI. * What high-risk men (particularly African American men) need to know, and when to start screening. * Information and support for the LGBT community, transgender individuals, and people with prostates. * New information on testing and imaging. * Your post-treatment life; how to stay healthy after treatment and manage the side effects of medication, and also how to support caregivers. * Advice and support for coping with your diagnosis and learning how to live life beyond prostate cancer
