Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men. This program from The Doctor Is In examines the importance of patient involvement in decisions concerning prostate cancer, such as which, if any, medical option to choose: surgery, external beam radiation, or brachytherapy, a new procedure where tiny, radioactive metal seeds are implanted in the prostate. Two men who opted for surgery are interviewed, along with a man diagnosed with the cancer who has decided to wait before starting a treatment. Discussing diagnosis and treatment are Robert Nadler, assistant professor of urology at Northwestern University Medical School; H. Gilbert Welch of the VA Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont; and Eric M. Wallen, urologist at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (29 minutes)
