[Laszlo Perry]

PCFpublishes a series of guides as part of our commitment to connect patients and their loved ones to the latest information on prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research. You can order or download these guides here. Please note that we now offer two separate guides based on type of prostate cancer. One guide focuses on localized disease and the other on recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer.

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and your doctor has told you that your cancer is early stage, still in the prostate, localized, curable with treatment, or low grade, this guide is for you. The guide includes information about treatment options, possible side effects and their management, healthy living tips, and family cancer risk.

If you have been newly diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, you have many treatment options. If you have previously been treated for prostate cancer and your PSA is rising, or your doctor suspects that your cancer may have recurred, please see this guide. This guide also covers treatment of advanced prostate cancer that is progressing despite hormone therapy and includes information about the latest therapies and clinical trials.

As long as the bundles look similar and run correctly, then there shouldn't be any issues. If you do come across an example that seems to be broken by a new version, please create an issue and we will do our best to resolve the discrepancy.

An architect's work affects communities, respectfully engaging with them and adopting solutions created in partnership is imperative. Such engagement leads to a more equitable built environment that flourishes. This guide notes that engaging communities has challenges resulting from years of inequitable practices in architecture and beyond, largely due to structural racism. With greater equity, the profession improves its impact and increases its value to society.

True support of equity, diversity, and inclusion requires being able to measure progress. This guide outlines a number of measurable factors, including increased commitment to equitable practices from leaders, decrease in pay disparities, and less evidence of unconscious bias.

Beyond equity, diversity, and inclusion is a farther-reaching goal of justice: systems and processes that reverse long-standing injustices and that go beyond merely what is fair. In the creation of the built environment, justice can take the form of just processes (process that involve people who have experienced harm) and just outcomes (spaces that are safe, welcoming, and worthy of the beings who inhabit them).

This supplementary edition is intended to help designers convey the opportunities, benefits, and challenges of making justice a deliberate aim of the building process. It includes more hands-on interactive exercises, with worksheets and contextual timelines that can be used within project teams and with clients or partners.

Office and school cultures feed and reinforce each other, and long-standing traditions, viewpoints, and biases in academia are strong. Attaining an increase in diversity and creating a welcoming culture for all within academia accelerates progress towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in each sector of the profession.
