Perspectives on Prostate Disease

These 48-page quarterly bulletins combine prostate cancer news and expert commentary, relevant clinical findings, updates on important new research, and personal case histories to help you fully understand the important considerations in the diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of disorders of the prostate.

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?

Discover Perspectives on Prostate Disease

That’s why I have been honored to be the editor of this important publication, Perspectives on Prostate Disease, from Harvard Medical School. The mission of these quarterly bulletins is to provide you with multiple perspectives on how best to treat prostate disease, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis, as well as erectile dysfunction and low testosterone levels.

Perspectives on Prostate Disease delivers authoritative, evidence-based research and practical guidance for effectively addressing a prostate disorder while controlling side effects and maintaining quality of life. From examining breakthroughs in screening to progress in palliative care, from the latest research advances to interviews with medical experts and patients, these bulletins will empower you to take the fullest advantage from today’s advances.

Each issue brings unique features such as…

• Roundtable Discussions: Join a group of Harvard physicians as they discuss and debate key issues in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate disease. You’ll have the benefit of expert viewpoints from a number of experts in the field.
• Patient Interviews: Benefit from the shared experiences of men who have confronted prostate disease. In candid conversations, they’ll relate how they made their decisions on treatment options, what they experienced during recovery, and whether they would make the same decision again!
• Prostate Cancer News and Research Findings: Every day there’s progress being made in research facilities and hospitals in the U.S., Europe and around the world. Be among the first to know about breakthroughs that you won’t hear about on the 6 o’clock news.
