American Prostate Society

Founded in 1991, the American Prostate Society (APS) is the only independent organization that provides timely information and the latest treatments/cures for prostatitis, prostate cancer, prostate growth (BPH), and impotence. APS members and donors are primarily men between the ages of 55 to 85 who receive a quarterly subscription to Update, a newsletter that covers topics such as choice of prostate therapies, reducing risk of prostate cancer, new treatments, natural alternatives, and many other related topics.

APS works to increase the public’s awareness of prostate disease while encouraging men to get annual exams. APS also aids hospitals and other health care facilities that are dedicated exclusively to detection and treatment of prostate disease.

(BENIGN) PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA “BPH” PROSTATE GROWTH WITHOUT CANCER

It borders on the ludicrous to call a condition “benign” when it –

► reduces a man’s ability to control his urination,

► comes close to turning the life of senior men into misery, and

We call this condition simply “PH,” period.

To make sure that point is clear, “PH” has nothing to do with cancer of the prostate (CaP). Vice versa, CaP has nothing to do with “PH.” An enlarged prostate puts out more PSA than one of normal size, a common cause of high PSA levels. Under the now-obsolete age/race adjusted PSA tables, PSAs above the levels in the tables very often promote biopsies that turn out negative. The use of PSA increases instead of PSA amounts should reduce this very real problem.

If you click on “newsletter,” you will find back issues filled with PH information. Our first PH issue answers 20 most-common questions. 3 more issues follow: Part I, Part II and Part III. Of special interest are the most recent issues reviewing two new PH treatments (Summer 2003) followed by “New Developments in PH Therapy,” Summer 2004.
