Breakthrough Prostate Cancer Treatments

Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin

Dear Health Alert Reader,

Your health and the health of your loved ones is the foremost priority of the Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin editorial advisory board. If you, or someone you love, has prostate disease you need the most current, reliable information you can get so you can make the best informed decisions about your future.That's why we've taken the liberty of reserving five FREE Prostate Health reports in your name:

· FREE Special Report #1: BPH: Reviewing the Options.
A must-read report on treatment options for benign prostate enlargement, with an emphasis on minimally-invasive techniques for treatment of this common disorder in men.

· FREE Special Report #2: Diet and Prostate Health.
Researchers now think up to 90% of all prostate cancers have dietary links. Our Special Report includes specific nutritional guidelines for preventing -- and coping with -- prostate disorders.

· FREE Special Report #3: Treating Overactive Bladder.
An in-depth look at current options for treating OAB -- including a close-up look at a new generation of medications that have fewer side effects than more commonly prescribed drugs.

· FREE Special Report #4: Chronic Prostatitis: New Research, Renewed Hope.
If you're one of the millions of American men who suffer from this frustrating condition, don't despair. Breakthrough research studies are pointing the way to important new therapies you need to know about.

· FREE Special Report #5: The Radical Prostatectomy.
One of the most authoritative reports on the subject available, written by Jacek L. Mostwin, M.D., D. Phil. (Oxon), Professor of Urology at Johns Hopkins, is head of the Division of Reconstructive and Neurological Urology. Essential reading for anyone facing the prospect of surgery or its after effects.

All five are yours to keep with our compliments, as your introduction to one of the most valuable health resources you'll ever benefit from:

The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin is the most comprehensive up-to-the-minute round-up of prostate care advances, new research findings, and clinical trials ever made available to medical consumers.

The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin works with doctors and professors of urology at one of the nation's foremost urological center, we are constantly impressed by the wealth of new therapies, important breakthroughs and newly-discovered preventive measures available to men at high risk for prostate problems, or undergoing treatment for them.

Yet for the average medical consumer, the information has simply been inaccessible -- hidden in obscure medical journals or buried in miniscule articles in the back of the daily newspaper. Even many physicians may not have ready access to up-to-the-minute research in this highly specialized field.

As the nation's leading center for prostate care and research, Johns Hopkins' James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute is in a unique position to evaluate and disseminate the very latest information concerning advances in prostate treatment. Now, Dr. Jacek Mostwin is leading a team of world-class prostate specialists as chief medical editor of a remarkable publication created for that precise purpose.

The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin has one simple mission, one clear focus: to provide those facing prostate health challenges with the kind of authoritative, leading-edge information they need to take charge of their medical care -- intelligently and effectively.

The Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin brings you eye-opening reports about new therapeutic avenues. . . advance news of clinical trials in which you can participate. . . detailed answers to subscribers' most pressing questions and concerns. . . revealing research findings about nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle influences and diagnostic tools. . . and the latest news from urological and cancer conferences around the world. All with a single relentless focus on prostate issues and the preservation of your health and quality of life, and without mysterious medical jargon -- so you can clearly understand what the advances mean to you.

This can literally be life-changing information -- especially if you fall within the prostate high-risk target zone, which includes men over 40, African-Americans, and any male with a family history of prostate problems. In recent issues, The Prostate Bulletin subscribers have learned about:

· Exciting lab tests of a powerful molecule, developed by a researcher at Yale, that appears to attack prostate cancer cells in mice and wipe them out. Human clinical trials are expected to be underway shortly. The Prostate Bulletin will provide contacts for these trials as soon as they are announced.

· Why experts now estimate that up to 90 percent of cancers of the prostate may have a dietary link.

· New evidence that the progression of prostate cancer may actually be slowed by dietary changes. One study published in the Journal of Urology found that tumor cells from men taking flaxseed in combination with a lowfat diet appeared to be growing more slowly and dying more quickly than those of the control group.

· Two types of foods that should be included plentifully in the diet of anyone at risk for prostate problems -- or experiencing them.

· Expert guidance for dealing with erectile dysfunction and restoring intimacy and sexual satisfaction after prostate surgery.

· Important prostate issues to consider if you're contemplating testosterone replacement therapy. The good news: most urologists now recommend replacement therapy for men with low testosterone levels -- provided careful follow-up examinations are maintained.

· Must-read comparison of the new laparoscopic prostatectomy with the traditional radical prostatectomy. The latest reports from the annual meeting of the American Urological Association offer important insights about the relative merits of both approaches for curing prostate cancer and maintaining quality of life.

· Why a new use of an oral hormonal medication may represent an important breakthrough in prostate cancer treatment.

· How a team of scientists and physicians is zeroing in on an improved Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test -- one which will reduce false positive readings and provide greater accuracy in predicting which men have PSA elevations due to benign prostate enlargement, and which are due to prostate cancer. The Prostate Bulletin readers will be kept apprised of their success as the data is reported.

· Five questions you should ask your surgeon if you are facing a radical prostatectomy. If he answers negatively to any one of them consider seeking treatment elsewhere. Question #1: does he know and use the nerve-sparing techniques in performing prostate surgery?

· Overactive bladder? You're not alone -- an estimated 17 million Americans, most under the age of 65, are affected by OAB. Your symptoms could be caused by one of the 12 trigger foods we reported on in our latest in-depth report on treating overactive bladder.

· The biggest mistake physicians make in prescribing drugs for prostate enlargement. Important reading for anyone taking Hytrin, Cardura, Flomax or Minipress.

· The pros and cons of medications, minimally-invasive therapies, and surgical alternatives in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) -- the most common benign tumor found in men. Dr. Alan W. Partin, M.D., Ph.D, and Distinguished Professor of Urologic Oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reviews treatment options in our in-depth report on BPH.

· Where to find national listings of clinical trials of new therapies for BPH and prostate cancer -- and how you can apply to take part in them.

The most important publication you'll ever read --
yet your subscription is entirely risk-FREE.

The Prostate Bulletin will keep you abreast of the latest studies, therapies, and breakthroughs, alert you to clinical trials in which you can participate, and bring you the latest news from urological and cancer conferences around the world. All without medical jargon -- so you can clearly understand what the advances mean to you.
