Predicting Outcomes


From the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation

  • Almost 100% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive in 5 years*.
  • Over 90% of prostate cancer cases are found while the cancer is still either local or regional, and nearly 100% of these men are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed.
  • In cases where the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, 34% survive 5 years.
  • After 10 years, about 98% of men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer are still alive*, but only 17.6% of those diagnosed with advanced-stage prostate cancer survive 10 years*.

*not including those who died from other causes.

Hey Adam

First of all, thanks for reading the blog (even though your comment isn't posted). How did you find it? I'm still trying to figure out ways to find readers. Did you look at the book? There are a couple free chapters to read on Amazon.

Also, why did you include the link on Vixova? Do you recommend it--I may try it, I'm having some issues again with BPH, urinary tract, something -- not sure. But the product looked interesting.

Finally, your comment didn't show up on the blog. I tested it and it seems to be working. Try again if you want.

Thanks again,
Steve
