Description

When a patient is told that his prostate cancer has progressed to a new stage, he has both questions and concerns. In this second edition of Promoting Wellness Beyond Hormone Therapy, Dr. Mark Moyad provides a wealth of information for patients whose prostate cancer is considered ‘hormone-refractory, ‘ meaning that it no longer responds well to hormone therapy. Dr Moyad outlines the many treatment options currently available, including the latest updates on exciting new therapies. He offers suggestions for patients to lessen or eliminate treatment side effects through lifestyle and diet tips, dietary supplements and over-the-counter options, and prescriptions and medical procedures. The ‘Question-and-Answer’ format gives direct responses to patient queries, and health-and-wellness tips are included throughout the book.
