Prostate cancer: testing and treatment

According to recent estimates, more men are diagnosed with prostate cancer than any other type of cancer--that's more than 180,000 cases in this year alone. John Henkel's article from FDA Consumer discusses in detail the tests and technology used to detect prostate cancer, and also outlines the various forms of treatment used to control the disease. The article closes with a look at recent studies on how to combat prostate cancer, and includes a list of resources for cancer patients as well as a rundown on noncancerous prostate disorders. Required reading for all men over 40.
