Interesting information on Dick Clark released today. Prostate Cancer surgery preceded his heart attack.

I didn't see any mention of cancer, just that he had minor prostate surgery for urinary retention.

It has always been my understanding that TURP (Transurethral Resectioning of the Prostate) is a treatment for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) or

enlarged prostate --- not a treatment for Prostate Cancer.

RIP Dick Clark.
