Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly occurring diseases in men. There is a high survival rate and living a long life with the condition is possible for many men. There are also lifestyle changes that could delay the onset of the disease and help men achieve a long health span - the number of years they enjoy optimum health.  Dr. Mark Scholz is a prostate cancer specialist and a strong advocate for patient empowerment.
