Prostate Cancer: A Case Report

Prostate Cancer: A Case Report discusses strategies for prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, and the side effects of the medication used to treat this serious health problem in order to provide physicians, nurses, and health care workers tools to better prevent and manage this condition. The goal is also to present the most appropriate information that allows patient empowerment by making informed decisions about the choice of treatments. Through the analysis of a real case report, the book also discusses the main complication associated with prostate cancer, which is bone metastasis, and provides information on treatment modalities of such condition as well as for lungs and liver metastasis.

This book also provides relevant information on diet, physical activities, and the management of stress in order to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from prostate cancer.
