Prostate cancer prospects
AFTER READING YOUR REPORT "PROS
tate Patients’ Painful Choices" [October 16], I feel compelled to inform you of our results. Using radiation combined with hyperthermia (heat) we have not only achieved a better cure rate than either surgery or radiation alone but not a single patient has developed erection difficulty. Indeed, two thirds of the patients report significant increase in both sexual functions and libido. Since the threat of impotence often deters men from accepting treatment, elimination of that prospect will significantly lower the mortality rate for prostate cancer.R
