Dr. Mark Scholz, author and medical oncologist specializes in prostate cancer and he is determined to change the way the most common cancer in men is being diagnosed and treated.  Currently, prostate cancer is the only cancer treatment managed by a surgeon and not an oncologist, reflecting the days when the only answer was for the urologist to operate.  Publishing a self-administered test and providing information about alternative treatments and side-effects, Mark is eager to change the way patients and doctors attack this disease.
