"Early detection saved my life." -- Jerry Lewis"The big fight against prostate cancer begins with education, which is why this is such an important book. Most men and their families need support as well as up-to-date, clearly presented information about prostate cancer to help them understand and cope with the disease, and this book offers both. I applaud the American Cancer Society for writing it." -- George ForemanJerry Lewis's and George Foreman's powerful statements underscore the need for the American Cancer Society's Prostate Cancer: What Every Man -- and His Family -- Needs to Know.Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among Amerian men -- an estimated one out of six men will develop it -- but if detected early, it is also among the most treatable forms of cancer.
