THE SURGERY IS AESTHETIC, NOT MEDICAL:
Monitoring can prevent unnecessary prostate ops: study (AFP, 11/02/12)
Close monitoring of prostate cancer tumours may make radiation and surgery -- which can cause incontinence and impotence -- unnecessary, a new study has shown.Prostate cancer is one of the slowest-growing forms of the disease, and many men with tumours may never develop symptoms during their lifetime, meaning that many are treated unnecessarily -- often with serious side-effects.
After decades of cancer hysteria folks, understandably, just want it out, no matter what that does to them.
