Where to find info on Prostate cancer?

[LaurieB]

Hi!

Can you recommend a good resource/journal for learning more about prostate cancer. Specifically, I'm looking for good randomized control trials for different treatment options for people with high (7+) Gleason scores.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

The standard treatment for high grade prostate cancer is radiation and hormonal therapy. There's a good listing/synopsis of prostate cancers trials on the Wiki at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Radiation_Oncology/Prostate/Hormones. You might also look at the other prostate cancer sections in that wiki. Should give you a good start.

Thanks for the Wiki link. Have there been any studies that compare radical prostatectomy with radiation and hormone therapy?

Thanks!
