A Primer on Prostate
Cancer
The Empowered Patient's Guide
by
Stephen B. Strum, MD & Donna Pogliano
In
my three years with this disease and Phoenix5, I can say from considerable reading
that this is -- without doubt -- the most complete and best prostate cancer reference
book that I have seen. Its primary strength is that there may be more illustrations
than its 368 colored pages. It is filled with hundreds of color photos, drawings,
illustrations and sample forms, from the basics to the highly technical. Just
look at the table of contents. And interspersed are "physician's notes" by Strum
that take up cases or individual instances, to "reinforce the concepts in the
text."
The book actually started as a highly popular "Primer" by Donna
that was kept at Phoenix5. It has now grown into a book.
I've never seen
a prostate cancer book where so much is so well illustrated. I highly recommend
this book to anyone dealing with prostate cancer.
