PCF publishes a series of guides as part of our commitment to connect patients and their loved ones to the latest information on prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research. You can order or download these guides here. Please note that we now offer two separate guides based on type of prostate cancer. One guide focuses on localized disease and the other on recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer.
Patient Guide to Localized Prostate Cancer
If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and your doctor has told you that your cancer is early stage, still in the prostate, localized, curable with treatment, or low grade, this guide is for you. The guide includes information about treatment options, possible side effects and their management, healthy living tips, and family cancer risk.

Patient Guide to Recurrent and Metastatic Prostate Cancer
If you have been newly diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, you have many treatment options. If you have previously been treated for prostate cancer and your PSA is rising, or your doctor suspects that your cancer may have recurred, please see this guide. This guide also covers treatment of advanced prostate cancer that is progressing despite hormone therapy and includes information about the latest therapies and clinical trials.

The Science of Living Well, Beyond Cancer
Whether you are a cancer survivor or someone who just wants to prevent any number of chronic diseases, PCF’s The Science of Living Well, Beyond Cancer, is an invaluable resource.
One in 3 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetimes. Everyone knows someone with cancer, but we all wish we didn’t. An aging population, combined with poor lifestyle choices, has resulted in an overall rise in chronic disease, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and depression. The good news is that 42% of cancer is thought to be preventable. You can become a participant in your own health outcomes with a few of the simple lifestyle suggestions in this guide.
