One of the best regarding radiation treatment by Michael Colford (Cartersville, Georgia USA)  5 Stars
December 14, 2008
I continue to try to read every book out there about prostate cancer treatment. As I have no criticisms of this slim booklet, my review is quite short.
I found it to be very current with regard to radiation treatment information. It also addresses scenarios, such as salvage treatments, which are seldom mentioned in other similar types of books.
While it's not big on personality, I highly recommend it as superior to most other books on the topic. However, this book is about radiation only; it does not address surgery as a treatment option.
