Are you or a loved one suffering from prostate cancer? Is your doctor, wife or family urging you to undergo surgery? Are you still trying to make up your mind?

If so, then you have turned to this website at exactly the right time. Here you will find proven, scientific data, that the radical prostatectomy does not extend overall survival. Surgery is usually not the right course of action to take if you want to extend your life and keep the quality of your life.

Here, you will find numerous and encouraging examples of alternative approaches to treating prostate cancer without surgery and without loss of normal bodily functions. Equally important, you will find other people like yourself who share the same concerns about prostate cancer and who can guide, support and inspire you through the daunting journey that lies ahead.

Before you decide to go under the knife, there are three things you need to know about radical prostatectomy, where the prostate and seminal vesicles are removed and nerves, arteries, and veins are severed. Three things should be earnestly considered before reaching a final decision about surgery.

(1) There is no randomized controlled study that shows that men with prostate cancer live any longer with surgery than without it. In fact, there are two randomized controlled studies where surgery failed to extend overall survival. The first, (Iversen et al.) was documented in the Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, supplement 1995 (January 1). The second (Holmberg et al.) was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine 2002 (September).

(2) Traditional surgery always causes sexual dysfunction: it makes all men sterile, it can cause a smaller penis, colder penis, shriveled penis, less sensitive penis, and frank impotence.

(3) Traditional surgery can also cause men to suffer incontinence, urethral strictures or other problems.

There are at least seven different treatments for prostate cancer. Has your doctor taken the time to review them all with you?

Prostate cancer occurs when prostate cells multiply out of control and become immortal instead of dying off after a normal lifespan.

There are many theories about what causes prostate cancer, but no clear etiology that explains all prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is unusual because most prostate cancer, unlike other cancers, is slow-growing.

Prostate cancer can be treated without surgery, and many doctors feel that it should always be treated without surgery. Radical prostate surgery, called the radical prostatectomy, has not extended life in randomized controlled trials, and has been shown in study after study to have significant side effects.
