A book on prostate cancer authored by Ghanaian urologist Dr. Lemuel Davies Bray was launched on Sunday, September 12, 2025, at a well-attended ceremony held at the Tema West Health Directorate Conference Room.<\/p>\n

The book, titled \u201cUnderstanding Prostate Cancer and Its Treatments,\u201d<\/em> is a simplified educational resource designed for both clinicians and patients.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Bray, a consultant urologist at Tema General Hospital, his motivation for writing the book was driven by a passion to go beyond prescribing medication and to contribute meaningfully towards curbing the devastating impact of the disease on livelihoods.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have attempted to answer most of the frequently asked questions about prostate cancer, provide helpful information on the most current treatment modalities, and offer a practical guide to the decision-making process for both clinicians and patients,\u201d Dr. Bray said at the launch.<\/p>\n

The book consists of 22 chapters covering topics such as prostate enlargement, inflammation of the prostate gland, global perspectives on the disease, treatment for localised prostate cancer, and treatment for advanced prostate cancer, among others.<\/p>\n
