In his discussion of prostatitis and prostate enlargement (BPH), as well as prostate cancer, Dr. Peter Scardino carefully and clearly explains what can go wrong, how to prevent prostate trouble, and what to do if problems develop. Dr. Scardino has treated thousands of patients at one of the world's best research hospitals. He developed the innovative erectile-nervegrafting procedure that makes it possible for men with serious cancer to recover sexual function and mathematical tools (nomograms) patients and physicians can use to improve medical decision-making. Now men everywhere can access his years of expertise. Dr. Peter Scardino's Prostate Book will help them and their loved ones to: - understand and interpret complicated test results - develop a customized action plan that suits individual needs - get the best care and ensure the best possible recovery from treatment - learn state-of-the-art strategies to prevent prostate diseases This book covers everything a man needs to know about his prostate health-from how aging affects sexual intimacy to asking the right questions to choosing among available therapeutic options. Dr. Scardino discusses cutting-edge strategies, using the latest research findings to explore the many factors that affect patients, including possible complications and ways to minimize them. One in six men in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer, and nearly half the adult male population will be affected by prostatitis. Dr. Peter Scardino's Prostate Book provides the hard facts and a compassionate voice to guide every man to health and healing. Illustrated throughout with line art by Frank Forney. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Book saved husband's lifeComprehensive book, excellent explanations, doctor recommended watchful waiting. After reading this book, my husband was checked out at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. Nomograms on Scardinos website recommended IMRT radiation for his cancer. He has been cancer free for two years. Rating: - Excellent read for anyone (wives especially) going through prostate cancer treatment.My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I had no clue where the prostate gland was or actually what it was suppose to do. After reading Dr. Scardino's book, I was prepared for anything and helped my husband through the terrible diagnosis with a positive attitude. I do not know what I would have done without this knowledge. Rating: - THE book for men with prostate problemsI picked up Dr. Scardino's book when I already knew that I had prostate cancer, but I'd recommend it for any man who is having prostate-related symptoms of any kind. The book's size is daunting at first, but it is very well organized and you can read only the chapters that apply to your situation. It is very readable and up to date. I have also found it helpful in the aftermath of my surgery, which I chose after weighing all the options. The book was very valuable in my decision-making process beforehand. ...

Naturally a tad biased to the surgical solution (Dr Scardino is one of the highest rated Prostate Surgeons in the country), it delivers a wealth of information. Knowledge is power, and if you or a loved one have Prostate Cancer, you owe it to yourselves to read this book, and to research the topic in depth. Rating: - A must read for those with prostate cancerAfter receiving treatment for prostate cancer, my husband had a lot of questions about side effects and if they were ever going away. His doctors were helpful and he searched the Internet and read everything he could, but he still had a lot of questions. When this book came up on a search, I ordered it for him and we were surprised at how much information it contains. We have both learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone who has a lot of questions about prostate cancer or questions about ... Read More
