Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2004Does Surgery Help Anyone?
The Radical Prostatectomy has never been shown to extend anyone's life in any randomized controlled study and could harm you more than help you and could even contribute to the spread of your cancer. You can read the shocking details in the new book "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" available at http://www.SurvivingProstateCancerWithoutSurgery.org > The Radical Prostatectomy has never been shown to extend anyone's life in > any > randomized controlled study That is because no one has done one yet which has run more than 8-9 years. So far, no results in favor of surgery, but most people here still have faith in surgery. >>The Radical Prostatectomy has never been shown to extend anyone's life in >>any [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > years.

You are talking about surgery vs. watchful waiting followed by hormone therapy when appropriate. Presumably the only way to find out what he is proposing is to buy his book since his website doesn't say. >>>The Radical Prostatectomy has never been shown to extend anyone's life in >>>any [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > hormone therapy when appropriate.

Dunno about you guys, but I'm not likely to take medical advice from some guy who posts in Usenet. I've read too much horseshit in Usenet over the years on subjects I know a fair bit about to take anything I see here as gospel. The discussions leading up to Y2K are probably the most outstanding example. There were a number of bad books written about that problem as well. If I read something interesting, I might ask my uro about it, but that's as far as I would go. Cheers, Lech Edmonton Alberta I have read this book and found it to be very helpful. It has given me the guidance I need to get me thru this. There is a "Table of Contents" on his website which will give you the contents of the book. > Surgery in comparison to what?

Growing old is invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so." http://community.webtv.net/PALMER_ENT/doc hi george - check out this person's website. his message board is set up that if you post anything, you have to give the moderator permission to edit and change your response and still be able to use your name on it. he refers to himself as doctor?. everything he represents is slanted. either his book is the greatest book written since the bible, surgery sucks, and natural eating will cure cancer - basically. you can eat yourself out of prostate cancer. that's when i exited the website and this unit of mine couldn't handle it and barfed all those bits into the bit bucket. ~ curtis I just figured he was a fraud and let it go at that. |
