The niche bestseller "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style.
"Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" quotes Dr. Gary Onik, M.D., Cryosurgeon and Director of Surgical Imaging at Celebration Health Hospital, Celebration, Florida, who says "I expect that within five years we will see the death of the radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer."
The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has seen five uncles suffer from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion.
"Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" quotes oncologist Dr. Robert Leibowitz of Compassionate Oncology Medical Group, who says "If radical prostatectomies worked, the data would be there. The reason the data is not there is because radical prostatectomies don't work." Dr. Leibowitz adds "No prospective randomized trial has ever found radical prostatectomy to be both necessary and effective."
Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the "Journal of Urology" lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery," Dr. Pitts said "Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I've abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option."
Dr. Hennenfent co-founded the Prostatitis Foundation (www.prostatitis.org). He also founded the Epididymitis Foundation (www.epididymitisfoundation.org), and the Acoustic Neuroma Foundation (www.acousticneuromafoundation.org). He previously published "The Prostatitis Syndromes."
"Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" quotes urologist Ronald Wheeler, M.D. of the Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer Center, who says "In my opinion, prostatitis resolution holds the key to the future of prostate cancer resolution."
“Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that 95% or more of all prostate cancer surgery done to date has failed to extend the life of the patient,”� says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book's author, and “This will be news to most men.”�
“Surgery should not be advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer,”� says Dr. Hennenfent, “although surgery does increase the lifespan of about 5% of patients, and improvements in surgery are constantly being developed.”�
“My book details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade.”�

I have read much on the subject, but I learned much original information from this book. This book will help you avoid urologists' reflex to take out your prostate the minute you get an elevated PSA level. After reading this book, it becomes clear this is the last thing one should do.Dr. Hennenfent educated me that prostate diseases are sequential. Men first experience prostate inflammation (prostatitis). Then, the inflammation degenerates into enlargement (BPH). Enlargement turns into prostate cancer. Both prostatitis and BPH do cause false positive high PSA levels. Therefore, he recommends that anyone receiving a high PSA level diagnostic should first be checked for the other two preceding conditions (prostatitis and BPH) instead of incurring prostate biopsies for investigating cancers. He indicates later in the book that biopsies may cause in certain cases the cancer to spread.
The author explains how BPH comes about (blockage of acinus ducks leading to bursting of acinus sacks). His explanation is completely different than what I had learned so far (BPH is due to age related hormonal change that causes the prostate to grow in size and harden). Maybe both explanations are valid and cumulative. But, again Dr. Hennenfent shared knowledge I had not come across elsewhere.
This book is a manifesto against radical prostatectomy and the urology establishment. The author cites many scientific papers to make his case that radical prostatectomy impairs quality of life (impotence, incontinence) and does not extend life. I had read the same thing from other sources as well. He further demonstrates how the urology establishment has manipulated statistics to arrive at flawed favorable outcomes. The few rigorous studies done without any statistical bias clearly demonstrated that prostatectomy did not provide any life extension benefit over just watchful waiting. And, this does not account for the abrupt drop in the mentioned quality of life associated with prostatectomy. Also none of the celebrity prostate cancer survivors he mentioned opted for this procedure including Robert Giuliani and Andy Grove.
In other chapters, Dr. Hennenfent spends much time explaining all the different tests and rating levels related to prostate cancer including the PSA test, the Gleason scale, and the TNM and ABCD staging systems. He fleshes out the debate regarding these tests effectiveness and accuracy. And, he goes into details as to their implications always referring to the relevant scientific sources.
The author's coverage of watchful waiting and active non-invasive therapy (ANIT) is also very informative. The chapters on hormone blockade and seed implant are especially interesting. A combination of those two therapies appears to be the preferred cure for many of the celebrity prostate cancer survivors he mentioned.
Given all the research he has done the chapter where the author shares how he plans to deal with prostate cancer is most helpful. It flows from the information he shares in the book. He would first use watchful waiting and then consider hormone blockade, and different forms of radiotherapy, including seed implant, if necessary.
If you want to further study this subject, I also strongly recommend the following books: "The Cancer Handbook" by Lynne Mc Taggart, "Should I be tested for cancer?" by H. Gilbert Welch, and "The Prostate Cancer Protection Plan" by Dr. Bob Arnot.

Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery edition by Bradley Hennenfent Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
If you are a man...Read this book. As a prostrate cancer patient, I found this book a very complete and informative overview of all the treatments and conditions men face with this disease. I learned things that neither of my two doctors (a radiation oncologist and a urologist)told me. This is the best overview of prostate cancer conditions to date. The information can guide you to a better life.
I was recently diagnosed with PC, and I was told by my urologists that I had several options for treatment to make the decision that fits me best -- everyone is different. He gave me a book that outlined the various treatments and the pros and cons of each treatment. After reading the book, I was in the dark. No mention in the book what other people were getting and their satisfaction with the treatment. I find these type books, althrough very helpful, didn't really contribute toward my decision. I found the book, Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery, of essential help in understanding what others consider about the aftermath of their treatment. I want to know what men of prominence and wealth are choosing for their treatment. What are the current trends in treatment. This book helps greatly in answering my questions. All men diagnosed with PC should read this book.
I too am recently diagnosed, and have bought and read quite a few different books on this topic. This was the best one that I've read thus far. It has helped me from making some really serious (bad) and irreversible decisions. Highly recommended. The other one that I thought was really good was "Eating Your Way to Better Health-The Prostate Forum Nutrition Guide" by Charles E. Myers, Jr., M.D. & Sara Sgarlat Steck, R.T. & Rose Sgarlat Myers, PT., Ph.D. God's blessing on you all.
This book presents the kind of information you might never otherwise learn and that some actually seek to suppress (note the couple of negative reviews unabashedly trying to steer you away from reading this book, with weak ad hominem attacks). I bought numerous copies of this book and gave them as gifts to friends and family coping with prostate cancer. Dr. Hennefent truly cares about the situation because he had so many loved ones (uncles) suffer from poor treatment decisions for prostate cancer and doesn't want to see others suffer. The information presented is well supported with references to reputable information sources. Prostate cancer victims need to educate themselves and not rely on biased doctors, or any other single source of information, to give them the full picture. This book will help round out whatever other information you may have received and presents much information that is quite surprising.
