This book by Dr Brian Meade inspired by Professor Avni Sali is the most authoritative, comprehensive and useful work that I have read on the subject of how to deal with prostate cancer. The book is intended for men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer (and their spouses/partners), but is also a valuable reference for practitioners and even for men without prostate cancer who wish to avoid getting it. This is because of the author's emphasis on the importance of lifestyle factors, notably diet, exercise and relaxation, on the risk of getting prostate cancer, as well as the effect of lifestyle on what happens if you have it. Dr Meade, a medical scientist with a strong background in biochemistry, discusses objectively the pros and cons of standard and experimental treatments and it becomes clear that the strategy of "Active Surveillance' should be carefully considered by men diagnosed with prostate cancer. That the author himself has employed this approach with evident success further strengthens the argument for Active Surveillance as an important treatment for most men with prostate cancer. I recommend this book as the definitive 'thinking person's guide' to dealing with prostate cancer. --Dr Graham Lyons
