Some experts believe that EVERY man will develop some degree of prostate cancer if he lives long enough. Autopsy studies have shown microscopic evidence of prostate cancer in 15-30% of men over the age of 50 and in 60-70% of men who reach age 80. But don't let that statistic scare you. The reality is that fewer men are dying from prostate cancer than ever before. And the next generation's risk is decreasing all the time. New statistics tell us that a male born today has a 16% chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer at some time in his life, but just a 3% chance of dying from the disease. Part of the reason for today's significant decrease in the death rate from prostate cancer is that more men than ever have gotten SERIOUS about having their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels checked on a regular basis. HAVE YOU? In THE 2010 JOHNS HOPKINS PROSTATE DISORDERS WHITE PAPER, you'll discover just how incredibly important PSA testing is. You'll learn... that an elevated PSA is the single best predictor of the presence of prostate cancer. that PSA testing detects prostate cancer about 5 to 10 years earlier than digital rectal exams. that most cancers detected with PSA testing are curable. that a baseline PSA prior to age 50 can help predice the future risk of prostate cancer up to 25 years later. and that regularly scheduled PSA testing virtually eliminates the diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer. You'll also learn... why a "normal" PSA level may not really be normal. the four factors, other than prostate cancer, that can cause a high PSA reading. why a PSA level of 4.0 is NOT a magic number that separates healthy men from those who might have cancer... ...and much, much more essential prostate health information to help you take control of your health now, and act from a place of knowledge rather than myths or hearsay.

Yes! I want to download Prostate Disorders Why Johns Hopkins? What better place to rely upon for cutting-edge advice and information on your prostate health than Johns Hopkins Hospital, which has been a pioneer in advancing medical knowledge for over a century. Here are just a few significant examples of the many prostate health breakthroughs that have taken place at Johns Hopkins... In 1996, Johns Hopkins researchers mapped the first prostate cancer-specific gene to chromosome 1. Radical prostatectomy was developed at Johns Hopkins at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1982, a "nerve-sparing" technique by Johns Hopkins urologist Patrick Walsh, M.D. significantly reduced the likelihood that a man would experience erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Alan Partin, a Johns Hopkins surgeon, developed the Partin tables that help doctors predict whether cancer is confined to the prostate or has spread to adjacent tissue, seminal vesicles, or lymph nodes. Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a way to determine which men are good candidates for the treatment known as "watchful waiting." IMPORTANT TREATMENT OPTION Based on solid evidence Johns Hopkins researchers have developed the criteria to determine which men are good candidates for active surveillance. You'll find this criteria discussed on page 47 in the "Treatent Options for Prostate Cancer" section of this year's White Paper. The bottom line: At last, Johns Hopkins has given men who have early prostate cancer and who meet this criteria sound reason to defer costly, possibly dangerous treatment, until it is clear they really need it. In the confusing tangle of information that goes into making decisions about this very common cancer, there is one clear thread to follow: Working closely with your doctor you can take time to assess your options before you choose any prostate cancer treatment which can have a significant impact on your quality of life.
