Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The latest volume in the Site-Specific Cancer Series examines the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, with the exception of skin cancer, and the second most lethal cancer among men. Prostate cancer accounts for approximately 10% of cancer-related deaths in men, while the lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer is one of six. These startling statistics reinforce the need for nurses who care for patients with prostate cancer to gain as much information as possible on this relatively common malignancy. Edited by William P. Hogle, RN, MSN, OCN®, Prostate Cancer provides you with detailed knowledge you need regarding the detection, staging, and treatment of prostate cancer. Chapters in this edition detail diagnosis and staging; screening, risk, prevention, and prognosis; treatment modalities for prostate cancer, implications for nursing; survivorship issues; and contributions of nursing research to the care of patients with prostate cancer.
