Prostate cancer — an overview

Amanda Jones Urology Research Nurse, University Hospital, Wales

The trend suggests it will overtake lung cancer as the commonest form of the disease in men by 2006. It is a complex disease to diagnose and treat. This article discusses the issues surrounding diagnosis and management of the condition and investigates the treatment options currently available.
