Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in American adult males. This work, developed by clinical nurse experts, provides information on the state-of-the-art care of men with prostate cancer, exploring the symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatment options and psychosocial effects of the disease. A major focus of the book is on quality of life and the nurse's role in improving this through teaching patients and their families how to manage common symptoms and side effects such as urinary and sexual problems. Competent nursing care will allow the large numbers of men diagnosed and living with the disease to live the highest possible quality of life.
