New Help For Men With Prostate Cancer

Friday, March 1, 2002

Prostate Cancer (NAPSA)—A new program on prostate cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in U.S. men, is now available to help the 189,000 whowill be diagnosed with the disease this year. 2 billionths of a gram Prostate Specific Antigen make key decisions associated with prostate cancer. The CD-ROM Prostate Cancer: Your Decision Notebook can help these men make thedifficult decisions they face. It provides accurate information to assist in choosing a treatment that best meets their medical and personal needs. With the multitude of diagnostic and treatment information available, men face a decision-making process that can be overwhelming. David Crawford, MD, Professor of Surgery/Radiation Oncology, University of Colorado, says, “The program provides a very balanced view of the many diagnostic and treatment options. I encourage patients to see it.” Retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Harry Harris, a survivor, says, “It is so difficult for men who have just found they have prostate cancer to know what to do. This CD is a godsend.” African-American men are more likely to be diagnosed with, and die from, prostate cancer than Caucasian Americans. “I’ve seen African-American men do nothing because they were afraid. This interactive tool gives them comprehensive patient-friendly information” says U.S. Air Force Tech Sergeant (Ret.) Norwood Sloan, a 12-year survivor. Prostate Cancer: Your Decision Notebook is available from HealthMark Multimedia for $39.95, online at www.yourdecisionnotebook.com or from 877-PCA-CALL.
