This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
The above article was recently published in full by "PAACT,INC" in their March "Choices" publication.
In the paragraph "Diversion To Consider The Partin Tables:", reference is made to Drs. Partin & Walsh at the "James Brady Urological Institute", Boston.
In fact, I had "RP" surgery performed in November, 1996 by Dr. Partin and the "Brady Urological Institute" is actually located at the "Johns Hopkins Hospital", Baltimore, MD.
Thank you for a most excellent article and I look forward to the remaining articles.
I'll accept that I don't know my Baltimore from my Boston, but there are many sites that refer to
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
The Johns Hopkins Hospital,
The James Brady Urological Institute
So who is to know who is correct. I find it amazing that Richard is the first of the thousands of people who have read my publication to spot this mistake. It will be corrected.
The PAACT organisation is serialising the booklet, which can be found in full at A Strange Place
Qs a matter of interest, I offered the booklet to all the major prostate cancer organitions - even offering to supply hard copies free of charge. Only PAACT accepted the offer.
