The problem is, this 20th-century model hasn't caught up to 21st-century technologies. It leads to tens of thousands of men suffering needlessly from impotence and/or incontinence for the rest of their lives.
In his new book, Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs: New Tests, New Treatments, Better Options (2013), Jay Cohen MD takes readers, step-by-step, along a smarter path. He introduces a new diagnostic process that enables doctors to differentiate dangerous prostate cancers from nonthreatening ones. He also details four new treatment methods designed to target different types and various stages of prostate cancer.
Because of the new tests and treatment methods available today, the one-size-fits-all, radical intervention approach is no longer necessary in 85 percent of men with prostate cancer.
Dr. Cohen's interest in this topic is personal. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2011, he embarked on a fact-finding mission that introduced him to leading-edge diagnostic tests that his urologist did not tell him about, tests that changed his direction from certain surgery or radiation to highly focused active surveillance, with the help of prostate specific MRIs and Color Doppler Ultrasound. In addition, Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs is the result of Dr. Cohen's in-depth academic research, interviews with top experts, and the stories of men using the new technologies to make fully informed decisions about their treatment.
