Understanding and Overcoming Prostate Cancer

The most common form of cancer men experience begins in the prostate, but it's a disease that is often misunderstood. For example, many men are surprised to learn that prostate cancer can be slow to develop, and for a good number of patients, the best course of action is to monitor the progress of the disease rather than to immediately jump into surgery or radiation. For others, though, a more active approach makes sense, and today's physicians have great success delivering positive outcomes - though recovery presents its own challenges. Today's guest is Dr. Gregory Amend, a reconstructive urologist practicing on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, who shares his expertise on prostate health, prostate cancer, treatment options and recovery.  To learn more about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
