Description

Around 32,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. This common form of cancer often differs from others in that small areas of cancer within the prostate can be present for many years without causing problems. Prostate cancer is frequently detected during routine check-ups, and most men diagnosed at this stage may not have any noticeable symptoms. However, it can cause pain, difficulty urinating, erectile dysfunction, and other issues. The disease progresses slowly, with early stages often having no symptoms. This updated edition of the book includes new information on radiotherapy as a treatment for residual prostate cancer after surgery, as well as an expanded chapter on advanced disease.
