Summary: The ABC's of Advanced Prostate Cancer
Review: I am a prostate cancer survivor who has had to make tough decisions on what treatment is best. This book was great in that it defined terms and procedures so the patient can make educated decisions. The info on chemo, radiation and surgery was very informative. Technical jargon like Gleason scores are defined in lay terms. This is the best book on the market for prostate cancer patients. Read this first before having any procedure. Your are responsible for your own health decisions and this will be the best tool in your education process.

Summary: Review of Moyad's new book
Review: Moyad's book is excellent in several ways but it has one major drawback. The book is excellent in recommending five servings of fruit and vegetables, in its description of each supplement, and in basing its choices on double blind studies. This last is also a major drawback. Vitamins and supplements often work together and should be tested together. See "The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book", by Lieberman and Bruning. The book is in error in evaluating vitamin C. The controversy between Mayo Clinic and Linus Pauling should not be used to discard vitamin C.... I recommend the book for its detailed information on supplements. It is fair to poor for cancer therapy. Reagan Houston,6/28/00.
