Essential Concepts for Survival (Kindle locations 829-831). Stephen B. Strum, MD. Kindle Edition.
One of those most interesting statements in Stephen Strum's latest book;
"I see a future when men with early prostate cancer and a low tumor volume might be treated with a combination of two or more oral agents, and due to a much higher understanding of the AR, and an awareness of the issues detailed in Figure 23, we might be able to spare men the need for any invasive therapy of prostate cancer."
This is really an informative book! Of course, the above statement does not pertain to my husband, or many here, but there is a lot of good information about some of the new drugs like Zytiga, Xtandi, and others in the works. It gets really detailed on exactly how these drugs work, with lots of charts included (very hard to read with Kindle) that explain things in a clearer way to understand.
Good information on the importance of PSA nadir and testosterone levels in regards to prognosis.
Worth the read! The only drawback is trying to enlarge the charts and graphs to read them clearly, but I don't have 20/20 vision. :)
It is only available on Kindle but if you don't own a Kindle you can download "Kindle For PC."
