The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) has just published the 2019 update to its Prostate Cancer Patient Guide, which is a very useful (and free) introduction to prostate cancer for patients and their caregivers.
Newly updated information in the 2019 guide includes:
- The most recent USPSTF prostate cancer screening recommendations
- The management of patients on active surveillance (AS)
- Dealing with erectile dysfunction (ED)
- The two new drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of non-metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC)
- Combination therapies in the management of metastatic, “hormone-naive” prostate cancer
- A new nutrition and lifestyle checklist
You can obtain a copy of this guide by asking to have a free copy mailed to you at your home address or (on the same web page) you can elect to get a PDF version of the guide sent to by e-mail and “save some trees” at the same time.
However (there’s always a “however”), you can also be quite sure that once PCF has your e-mail address or other contact information, they will be regularly asking you to remember to contribute to their continuing research mission. This is not necessarily a bad thing!
