PROSTATE CANCER ESSENTIALS

This booklet provides a comprehensive overview of prostate cancer salvage treatment options for patients who have a recurrence after primary treatment (surgery, radiation therapy, etc.)

From the Introduction by Don Kaltenbach: “All of us who have been treated for prostate cancer live with the possibility that our cancer will reappear at some point in the future. This is true regardless of the type of treatment we have undergone or the stage of the cancer at the time we were diagnosed. While the likelihood of recurrence diminishes with each passing year, as part of our prostate cancer battle plan, it is important for each of us to be aware of our options down the line if a relapse should occur. With that knowledge, patients are empowered to more effectively cope with any contingency. This booklet discusses the available options for local and distant failure after each type of primary therapy. As members of the Dattoli Cancer Team, our shared goal with this booklet is to help you make informed decisions about your treatment.”
