This review is from: The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Prostate Cancer (Cleveland Clinic Guides) (Paperback)

Excellent explanations for the lay person. Simple diagrams to clarify. A slight bit of humor injected to make it seem almost like a conversation. Sidebar definitions anticipate your mental questions. Good organization from explanations and definitions to options and what to expect.
