HEALTH TOPICS 
By Marc B. Garnick, M.D., Editor in Chief, 2011 Annual Report on Prostate Diseases
On Friday, May 20, the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition hosts its 14th annual prostate cancer symposium. Specialists from the Boston area will cover a variety of topics including:
- new molecular tests that might help doctors better assess whether a man has prostate cancer and, if so, what to do about it
- concerns of men who are diagnosed with cancer that’s already fairly advanced
- active surveillance vs. treatment for low-risk prostate cancer
- how radical prostatectomy stacks up against other treatments
- the latest information on brachytherapy (seed therapy), a type of radiation
- what to do about urinary incontinence after prostate cancer treatment
- monitoring your condition after treatment—is the cancer in remission?
- the best foods to eat to promote healing and boost energy
- enrolling in a clinical trial.
Seemingly everyone turns to the Internet when they receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer, but finding reputable sites with accurate and unbiased information can sometimes be challenging. I will be talking about a few Web sites, including www.HarvardProstateKnowledge.org, that can help men and their families better understand the controversies surrounding prostate cancer screening and make well-informed decisions about treatment. I will remind attendees to check the source of information they find online.
Suzanne Rose, editor of the 2011 Annual Report on Prostate Diseases from Harvard Health Publishing (HHP), will report live from the symposium via Twitter, and post updates to the HHP Facebook page. Additional reports and blog posts will be added to the HarvardProstateKnowledge site in the coming days, so be sure to check back regularly.

NO!It is just a guess based on the most popular rrtuens on the search engine.The best and ONLY way to know what’s wrong with you is to see your doctor.That’s what they went to school for. They studied at least 8 years and did their internship.Google didn’t do anything but return the most common hits.You could have nothing wrong with you or you could have something totally unrelated to your symptoms.
I not to mention my buedids ended up checking out the best recommendations found on the blog and so quickly developed a horrible suspicion I never expressed respect to you for those tips. The men were as a result warmed to see all of them and already have actually been loving those things. Many thanks for getting quite accommodating and then for making a choice on varieties of marvelous guides most people are really needing to be aware of. Our sincere apologies for not saying thanks to earlier.
