Description
Book Introduction
No man is free from the threat of prostate cancer, the number one cancer in men in Korea.
The complete prostate conquest master plan with all the solutions for prostate health!
Prostate cancer, as well as other prostate-related diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, are male diseases with a particularly high prevalence in developed countries, and the number of patients is rapidly increasing in Korea as well.
However, compared to the rapid pace of advancements in numerous treatments, which are constantly being updated even at this moment, access to information for patients with prostate disease is limited.
Even when searching various health information magazines or the internet to understand and obtain information about advanced and new overseas treatments that are being introduced into domestic medical settings, one often encounters a wall of vague, unverified, or even incorrect information.
This book is a prostate health guide that provides reliable guidance and specific answers to those who want to maintain prostate health and avoid the threat of various prostate diseases.
The author, who served as a professor of urology at Seoul Asan Medical Center, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, and Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, and is currently the director of the SNU Department of Urology, has accurately and clearly answered various questions in an easy-to-understand yet in-depth, detailed yet comprehensive manner based on his many years of know-how.
In this book, the author provides detailed information on the prostate, from benign prostatic hyperplasia to prostate cancer, and from basic lifestyle tips to prevent prostate diseases to the latest treatments such as robotic surgery, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), hadron therapy, multiple ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) antagonists, and lutein-targeted therapy.
In particular, the 85 comprehensive and practical tips and solutions for benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and other prostate-related diseases introduced in this book will be useful information not only for patients and their families, but also for medical professionals in other fields and urology residents.
This book provides comprehensive knowledge necessary to understand, diagnose, and treat various prostate-related diseases, and prevent progression to malignant cancer. It will serve as a practical prostate health guide for all men and an essential guidebook for the aging population.
