Summary: The only one I unhesitatingly recommend to others
Review: After months of study following my diagnosis of prostate cancer, this is one of 3 books I kept for my personal library, and the only one I unhesitatingly recommend to others. Key feature: It covers the 3 main things that can go wrong with your prostate, not just cancer. It is objective, balanced and thorough enough you may wish to hide your eyes on some pages! It is excellent background, well organized and detailed enough that I continually refer to it. My wife also found it excellent as well.Worthington is the Science Editor for John Hopkins with an outstandingly clear ability to communicate to the novice or experienced patient. Walsh is the noted prostate cancer surgeon who pioneered nerve sparing radical prostectomy, for those who choose that route. I did not choose surgery, but this book enabled me to objectively approach that as an option during my study. I wish I had read this book years ago for the understanding of the prostate it contains. All men should have this book for its discussion of prostate problems in general. Face it guys, one or more of these is likely to happen to you. If you are actually diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is an excellent place to start your study and familiarize yourself with prostate anatomy and treatment options.

Summary: The Authoritative Book On Prostate Cancer
Review: Amid all of the rumors and horror stories one confronts after being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, this guide was conforting to both my wife and me. Doctor Walsh and Ms. Worthington are to be commended for preparing a text that a layman can understand and at the same time put to rest the fears stimulated by the horror stories a cancer victim encounters. Especially impressive were the illustrations by Leon Schlossberg. As one who underwent the radical nerve sparing surgery, developed by Dr. Walsh, I knew exactly what would happen and what to expect. I purchase copies of the book and pass it on to men I know who have been diagnosed.

Summary: The Prostate: A Guide for Men and the Women whoLove Them
Review: I was given this book prior to prostate surgery and it's now the only source of information to which I refer friends when asked about my experience with prostate cancer. It is well written, easy for the layman to understand, and very thoughtfully spells out the available options a prostate cancer patient faces. My wife also read the book, and it gave her a sense of understanding of my problem which she'd not had. Thanks Dr. Walsh.

Summary: This is a must if you suspect you have prostate cancer
Review: This book will help anyone that has been told by a doctor that there is a strong possibility he has prostate cancer.It will help you make an educated decision as to a course of action - from wait and see to radical surgery and everything inbetween. I found the best approach is to read the book rather quickly the first time and then reread it a second time taking the time to make sure you understand what Dr. Walsh is telling you. It saved my life, and I feel it helped me make the decision that was right for me.

Summary: Highly recommended to all my patients
Review: Walsh and Worthington have written a book that explains complicated principles in easy to understand language. As a urologist, I make this "required reading" for all my patients undergoing evaluation for prostate problems; the discussion on PSA and prostate cancer is especially good. When patients come to me confused about prostate issues, this is the book I suggest they read.
