Prostate Cancer Demystified

NEWER LIFE-SAVING PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENTS

By: Robert L. Bard, M.D.

Suddenly I couldn't breathe. I was paralyzed from the waist down with acute poliomyelitis and I now feared my diaphragms were affected. The doctors at the rehabilitation center specializing in this nationwide epidemic had already warned my parents I would never walk, even though I felt some sensation coming back in my right leg. I could hear the muffled mechanical sounds from the next ward. In the adjoining room were the "iron lungs" for completely paralyzed children to assist with their respiration in hopes they would recover the ability to inhale before they expired. The boys I saw sent to the respirator room never came back. I knew my next stop was the dreaded "death ward". I was for years old and worried I would not live to be five.

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer

By: Robert L. Bard

MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer analyses high-resolution MRI scanning and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. This combination improves the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer and may soon replace PSA testing and digital rectal examination. The first two chapters focus on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, benign disease and intraprostatic tumors. The subsequent chapters on MRI of extracapsular disease create a useful atlas of pathologic anatomy. This is the first text of its kind to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor grading. The chapters on the post-treatment prostate clearly display the increasing incidence of post-therapy recurrences. This book is intended for internists, radiologists, radiotherapists, oncologists, urologists, family practitioners, and general surgeons. Ultrasound, MRI, and radiotherapy technicians will find it extremely useful as a reference guide.

Prostate Cancer Decoded

Non-Invasive Breakthrough Treatments

By: Robert L. Bard

The Facts of Prostate Cancer 2/3 of men over age 50 have low grade tumors or potential cancer cells in their prostate. Only 10% will develop clinically aggressive prostate cancer. These non-invasive exams tell if a tumor is aggressive or not with an accuracy exceeding traditional biopsy results and correlate well with prognosis according to the latest international cancer conferences. The PSA test has a poor correlation with cancer detection. The digital rectal exam is more accurate in detecting high grade tumors than the PSA level. Biopsies are random, invasive and may spread tumor cells. New non-invasive treatments are guided by advanced radiologic imaging technologies. The therapeutic effect is serially studied by MRI and 3-D sonography. While generally successful, interval exams may document an unsatisfactory response, allowing "standard" treatments to be started, if necessary, in a timely manner.
