What's a myth and what's a fact?

  2. Surgery always causes impotence or incontinence.
  3. Tests can help determine if you're at risk for prostate cancer recurrence.
  4. Some drugs can slow the progression of advanced prostate cancer.
  5. Most men with prostate cancer will eventually die of the disease.
