Let Sleeping Dogs Lie? aims to provide a detailed examination of the main questions that a man should be asking before deciding to get tested for prostate cancer.
'It is a very compelling read though, because of the controversies - every health professional should consider its key message as a principle (what does the evidence tell us?) in their practice and in their influence personally.'
