title: "Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs 2014: New Tests, New Treatments, Better Options: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cutting-Edge Diagnostic Tests and 12 Medically-Proven Treatments
author:  Jay S. Cohen 
description: ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JAY S. COHEN, M.D. Nationally respected for his groundbreaking work on preventing medication side effects, Dr. Cohen, a prostate cancer survivor, now informs men of new breakthroughs in diagnosis &amp; treatment that are revolutionizing prostate cancer care today. These methods, available at only a few medical centers, can allow tens of thousands of men each year to avoid unnecessary surgery and radiation, which often cause serious and permanent impotence and/or incontinence. Because many doctors are not aware of the new advances, so they don't relay this information to patients. In a step-by-step, easy-reading manner, Prostate Cancer Breakthroughs informs men and the women who love them of the new methods and how and where to obtain them.
