Understanding and Overcoming Prostate Cancer
Manage episode 393647564 series 3343401
The most common form of cancer men experience begins in the prostate, but it's a disease that is often misunderstood. For example, many men are surprised to learn that prostate cancer can be slow to develop, and for a good number of patients, the best course of action is to monitor the progress of the disease rather than to immediately jump into surgery or radiation. For others, though, a more active approach makes sense, and today's physicians have great success delivering positive outcomes - though recovery presents its own challenges. Today's guest is Dr. Gregory Amend, a reconstructive urologist practicing on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, who shares his expertise on prostate health, prostate cancer, treatment options and recovery.
