Product Description
About 317,000 American men will receive the shock of their lives during 1996. Typically, a 60- to 70-year-old patient will be told by his primary care physician that "routine" laboratory blood work has revealed an elevated level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The patient will be asymptomatic, and results of his physical examination, including a digital rectal examination of the prostate, will be normal. Consultation by a urologist will be followed by a prostatic biopsy, which will reveal cancer. And, contrary to the beliefs of many, prostate cancer is not a benign accompaniment to aging.
