Encyclopedia of Men's Reproductive Cancer

Prostrate cancer is the most common cancer of the male reproductive organs, with an average of 200,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States alone. Statistics show that one in six men can expect to develop cancer of the prostrate. Another common cancer primarily striking men in their 20s through their 40s is testicular cancer, which is one of the most curable forms of cancer. But with all forms of cancer, prevention and early detection are the key to treating male reproductive cancers. The Encyclopedia of Men's Reproductive Cancer contains more than 400 entries, including such important topics as risk factors, etiology, prevention, treatments, and much more. Entries are written in a detailed, jargon-free style useful to general readers and professionals alike.
Extensive appendixes list helpful Web sites and organizations for further research, cancer centers by state, clinical trials in male reproductive system cancers, and drugs used to treat reproductive cancers.
