The brand new revised, updated and reformatted, Juy 2025 Interactive edition of Knowledge Empowers is here. This booklet, all about prostate cancer, is aimed at men who have just been diagnosed and those further down the treatment trail. It aims to explain aspects of prostate cancer from the patient’s point of view.
Since the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer is changing quickly we try to update this every two years. Some hospitals distribute this to their newly diagnosed patients.
This Healthy Living publication from PCaSO, a companion booklet to our Knowledge Empowers prostate cancer information booket, explains how a healthy lifestyle can be so important for our general health and may also reduce our risk of cancer.
There are three main sections: 1.Health and Lifestyle, 2.Physical Activity and Exercise, 3.Healthy Eating. Each section ends with a summary page listing ‘Key Points’.
With the digital Interactive version, the Contents pages can connect directly to Chapters in the booklet for quicker access to content. If you wish to return to the Contents pages, click onto the small square coloured box at the top of the page.
The main sections are followed by a Resources section, listing books, videos etc for any further reading or viewing. ‘Footnotes’ are inside the back cover, listing sources of numbered quotes in the booklet.
This digital interactive version of the booklet contains some extra pages towards the back. For those persons who wish to delve deeper they include Technical Aspects of Cancer, a timeline of ‘how Cancer occurs and develops’, and the ‘Hallmarks of Cancer as Influenced by Lifestyle Factors’. Also in this digital version are Appendices of a few tables of data, expanding on content earlier in the booklet.
Be aware that external internet links quoted in the booklet may change over time. If you wish to reach a particular document/topic, sometimes it may be best achieved by searching.
