Complementary and Alternative Medicines in Prostate Cancer

Recent global cancer statistical data clearly indicated that prostate cancer is currently the second most frequently diagnosed cancer (at 15% of all male cancers) and globally the sixth leading cause of cancer death in males. This book is a summary of prostate cancer (incidence, epidemiology, current treatment options). It also serves as an up to date review of the status of currently available alternative and complementary medicines for treating prostate cancer, including various plant extracts, herbal formulations, natural products, yoga, acupuncture, homeopathy, and Siddha medicines used in prostate cancer therapy.
