A new edition of a respected book can mean help and hope for many.

(NAPSI)—The National Cancer Institute estimates 240,890 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States in 2011. Advances made in the treatment and management of this disease are important to be aware of.

A study recently reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association noted the success of a new model to predict return of sexual function following surgery or radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
