The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin Summer 2007:
Rare and Unusual Cancers of the Prostate

Dr. Patrick Walsh on the Radical Prostatectomy

For nearly a decade, the specialists at Johns Hopkins' James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute have been bringing you the latest news and most cutting-edge treatments for prostate cancer, BPH and prostatitis in The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin.

In the Rare and Unusual Cancers of the Prostate issue, Dr. Jacek L. Mostwin and his esteemed colleague Dr. Jonathan L. Epstein give you a thorough overview of our progress in our battle against prostate disease.

In the Doctor's Letter, Dr. Mostwin presents the breaking news on prostate disorders:

  • PSA as an Effective Early Marker of Prostate Cancer: the latest findings

  • Expectant Management: results of a new study on 'watchful waiting' as a good option for many men

  • Statins and Prostate Cancer: can your cholesterol drug also protect you from prostate cancer?

  • Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Waist Circumference: can obesity contribute to an enlarged prostate?

  • Possible New LUTS Therapy: Erectile Dysfunction Medication: Can Viagra, Cialis and Levitra also help your enlarged prostate (BPH)?

The second section of this issue features a special profile of Dr. Patrick C. Walsh, "Surgical Pioneer, Innovator, Teacher, Author," on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his first radical prostatectomy, and his reunion with that first patient, still alive and well today. This issue also marked the latest edition of his seminal work: "Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer."

In this 9-page illustrated article, Dr. Walsh gives a detailed description of how the radical prostatectomy is performed, with the special refinements he has innovated over his many years as a surgeon. The new techniques he has perfected are designed to preserve sexual function and urinary continence as far as possible after you undergo prostate cancer surgery.

You'll also get Dr. Walsh's invaluable guide to what you need to look for in your own prostate surgeon if you decide on a radical prostatectomy.

In this report, you will learn about:

  • Bladder cancer and how it affects the prostate.

  • Colon cancer and rectal cancer, and how they can invade the prostate.

  • What is sarcoma of the prostate?

  • The factors that could cause mistakes in diagnosing prostate cancer.

  • Why having an experienced pathologist is key in diagnosing prostate cancer.

  • When to get a second (or third or more) opinion on your prostate cancer diagnosis.
    ...and much more.
