AnnotationWhile outcome has improved in prostate cancer, important deficiencies in care remain. Although chronological age alone should not decide treatment, a man's life expectancy and the presence of serious co-morbid disease are important influences on his choice. The author discusses the role of health professionals in helping men to balance the risks and benefits of treatment. (RH).
