Men need to weigh up the significant risks as well as the benefits associated with being tested for prostate cancer, according to a new book from the University of Sydney.
Let sleeping dogs lie? What men should know before getting tested for prostate cancer was launched on Thursday night and was co-authored by Professor Simon Chapman, Associate Professor Alex Barratt and Associate Professor Martin Stockler.
“In writing the book, we aimed to provide much needed balance to what is often an irresponsible, one-sided pro-screening message,” Professor Simon Chapman said.
The book is available as a free PDF download or in hard copy for $25.
