The current issue of Urologic Clinics of North America, edited by Mark Moyad, MD, of the University of Michigan Medical Center, includes a series of review articles dealing with complementary and alternative care in the prevention and management of urologic disorders in general and prostate cancer in particular.
While the full text of most of these articles is not be available online unless you are a member of the American Urology Association or a subscriber to the Journal of Urology, the contents list and Dr. Moyad’s preface are freely available. As he notes in this preface, this is the first issue of Urologic Clinics of North America to really focus on complementary and alternative medical techniques in management of urology in a decade.
Specific articles in the issue that are most relevant to prostate cancer include the following:
- Solomon KR, Freeman MR. The complex interplay between cholesterol and prostate malignancy
- Esposito K, Giugliano D. Lifestyle/dietary recommendations for erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction
- Moyad MA, Roach M. Promoting wellness for patients on androgen deprivation therapy: why using numerous drugs for drug side effects should not be first-line treatment
- Moyad MA, Klotz LH. Statin clinical trial (REALITY) for prostate cancer: an over 15-year wait is finally over thanks to a dietary supplement
- Barnett CM, Beer TM. Prostate cancer and vitamin D: what does the evidence really suggest?
Over the next week we will read through all of these reviews and see if we can extract any “key learnings” for visitors to this web site.
