WESTMONT, Ill., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Prostate cancer is the second most
common cancer in American men. One in six men will be diagnosed during his
lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society.

In its continuing efforts to share information about this prevalent disease,
the world-renowned Chicago Prostate Cancer Center has developed a
complimentary 22-page guide and DVD to anyone interested in learning more
about prostate cancer.

The full-color, spiral-bound guide includes:

-- Detailed discussions about early detection and its importance,
including
information on the breakthrough diagnostic tool-the Stereotactic
Transperineal Prostate Biopsy (STPB)
-- Details of the Gleason Scoring Grade
-- Full explanation of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test
-- Comprehensive discussion of risk factors
-- Myths regarding treatment
-- Frequently Asked Questions about prostate cancer and screening
-- Complete list of questions for patients to ask their doctor
-- Easy-to-understand color graphics

-- Statistics and research on the three forms of treatment including
external beam radiation, surgery and brachytherapy

The DVD touches on the above information in addition to detailing the
experiences of several prostate cancer survivors.

The latest 2009 American Cancer Society estimates for prostate cancer in the
United States predict that an estimated 193,000 new cases of prostate cancer
will be diagnosed and 27,360 men will die of prostate cancer. The more
information the public has about this disease and about the importance of
early screening, the greater the odds of saving a father, brother or
grandfather's life.
