I recommend utmost caution with regard to items posted on Wikipedia.

Anyone can post anything, and there is no vetting for accuracy.

If one wishes to learn about PCa, I recommend

(1) The objective, encyclopedic and reliable information available on

the website of the Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) at:

http://prostate-cancer.org/index.html

and

(2) _A Primer on Prostate Cancer_ 2nd ed., subtitled " The Empowered

Patient's Guide " by medical oncologist and PCa specialist B.

Strum, MD and PCa warrior Donna Pogliano. It is available from the PCRI

website and the like, as well as Amazon (30+ five-star reviews),

& Noble, and bookstores. A lifesaver, as I very well know.

It is well to bear in mind that there is much disagreement on almost any

medical topic, and PCa is no exception. We patients must study, learn,

then take charge of our cases and cope as best we can.
