Unlike any other book on the subject, Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery provides lifesaving advice from three essential points of view -- physician, nurse, and patient-survivor -- three leading cancer care specialists to guide you step by step through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
 If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you owe it to yourself to become informed about the disease and to know all your treatment options. The good news is there has been great medical progress in recent years and prostate cancer is now a highly treatable disease. For most patients who are diagnosed early, the choice of treatment most often comes down to radiation versus radical surgery, either with or without some form of hormonal therapy. This book provides the latest medical data and explains why more men are now avoiding surgery and instead choosing state-of-the-art radiation therapy such as seed implants and IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy).
The authors: Michael J. Dattoli, MD is an internationally renowned radiation oncologist and brachytherapist. As a leading specialist in the treatment of prostate cancer, Dr. Dattoli has published numerous peer-reviewed research studies and has one of the highest cure rates in the country using palladium brachytherapy and IMRT.
Jennifer Cash, ARNP, OCN is an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner specializing in oncology. She is a noted author on the subjects of prostate brachytherapy, advanced radiation delivery systems (3DCRT and IMRT) and hormonal therapy.
Donald Kaltenbach is the Executive Director of the Dattoli Cancer Center and Brachytherapy Institute in Sarasota, Florida. He is also a prostate cancer survivor of more than 14 years, as well as an author and frequent lecturer for prostate cancer support groups and civic organizations.

What others had to say about Prostate Cancer: A
Survivor’s Guide:
“Kaltenbach, who survived his own battle with prostate cancer,
discusses in simple language symptoms, diagnosis, treatment
and potential complications. Prostate Cancer: A Survivor’s
Guide is
an essential purchase for a core collection of materials
on men’s
health.” -- Library Journal.
"This book is a must-read for men diagnosed with
prostate cancer - and their families."
Paul Johnson, M.D.
Chief of Surgery at Ballard
Community Hospital, retired
Seattle, WA
"What a great book you wrote - Prostate
Cancer: A Survivor's Guide! I absolutely
commend you for doing this work. This should be required
reading for every man older than 40. A book like
yours at the time of my diagnosis would have been
a marvelous find." -- Ken Humphrey, patient
"I was diagnosed in January of 1994 … and your
book has helped to relieve a lot of my anxiety. It's
the best I've read, and I know it will help others." --
Don Cox, patient
"As one who has experienced prostate cancer firsthand,
in his excellent book Don Kaltenbach insightfully describes
what it is like to cope with the disease, and provides
other prostate cancer patients with up-to-date information
on both conventional and investigational therapies
currently available."
Norm Jones, M.D.
Director of Radiation Oncology
Piedmont Hospital
Atlanta, GA
"Don Kaltenbach has written a brilliant text
on prostate cancer. This is a 'must read' for all newly
diagnosed patients and their families to assist them
through the complex maze of available treatment options."
Daniel H. Clarke, M.D.
Northern Virginia Cancer Center
Alexandria, Virginia
This book saved my life and sanity!
I'm 58 years old and I'm not exaggerating when I say
that Don Kaltenbach's book saved me, and in more ways
than one. I was diagnosed with a Stage T2C prostate
cancer in 2003. My PSA was 10 and my biopsy-Gleason
score was 7...I can tell you this whole prostate experience
was the biggest scare of my life, and this book helped
me cut through a lot of the confusion and myths that
are out there.
So like the author, Kaltenbach (who's also a lawyer
and a family man like I am), I had the seed implants,
after a short run of external beam radiation. ...I
credit this book not only with saving my life, but
also with saving my sex life and my marriage. If you've
been diagnosed with this disease, take it from someone
who's been there, you can save yourself a lot of anguish
just by reading this book, getting yourself a second
opinion and doing some hunting on the internet. And
if you're lucky, you'll have a wife like mine who will
help you.
