The treatment options for prostate disease can often be confusing. To help you fully understand the important considerations in the diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of disorders of the prostate tap into archives of Perspectives on Prostate Disease. You’ll find expert commentary, relevant clinical findings, insight on important new research, and personal case histories.

Dear Friend,

If you’re like most men, when it comes to prostate problems, it’s not a question of if … it’s a question of when.

By age 50, half of all men have an enlarged prostate. By age 80, that number jumps to 80%! One man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. One in 30 will die from it.

I’m Dr. Marc Garnick, and as a physician I’ve treated thousands of men with prostate problems including prostate cancer, enlarged prostate (BPH), and prostatitis. I know how important it is for men to have in-depth and reliable information to make informed treatment choices.

I also know that the search for this information can be difficult and frustrating. Most patient-education brochures and primers offer only the basics. The few in-depth Web sites and newsletters often provide information that may be biased in favor of one treatment over another, often because of commercial support.

And where can you share the experiences of men, real people, who have actually been diagnosed with and treated for prostate disease?
