New booklet for patients in great demand Through the generosity and resources of AstraZeneca Canada Inc, CPCN has produced a booklet for the newly diagnosed that is fast becoming the current information watchword on the disease. Concise and written in layman's language, the booklet has been distributed in limited quantities to all Canadian prostate cancer support groups.

Individuals, Support Groups and other interested organizations may order the booklet via email. Individuals may also pick up a copy at their local support group meeting.

Check out information about diagnosis and treatment.
The section of our website entitled "Understanding Prostate Cancer" offers easy to understand and current information to help you learn more about your circumstances and options.

Of particular interest to the newly diagnosed are two sections. The first, on the grading and staging of prostate cancer, describes the various ways doctors estimate how aggressive or advanced your cancer may be. The second, on prediction tools, outlines the assessment tools that doctors use when considering treatment recommendations. These include Partin tables and various nomograms. Don't worry if these words are unfamiliar; "Understanding Prostate Cancer" provides detailed jargon-free descriptions, and it also provides links to many other websites, which offer interactive prediction tools.
