Should a man ever have his prostate gland removed? Is there a better option?
The stories are as tragic as they are common. A healthy man sees his doctor and is found to have an elevated PSA level. A biopsy leads to a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Despite having few symptoms, a life altering diagnosis has been rendered, and the treatment options all look bleak.
Surgical removal of the gland with the possibility of leaking urine and impotence, high dose radiation with the possibility of stool incontinence and radiation proctitis to develop years later, or the excruciating idleness of waiting.
In this podcast Dr. Petteruti describes some of the research that questions the wisdom of conventional treatments for prostate cancer. He also describes a complementary approach that helps support the body in its effort to prevent the cancer from ever becoming a problem.
