A book on prostate cancer authored by Ghanaian urologist Dr. Lemuel Davies Bray was officially launched on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at a well-attended event at the Tema West Health Directorate conference room.
Titled Understanding Prostate Cancer and Its Treatments, the book serves as a simplified educational resource for both clinicians and patients.
Dr. Bray, a consultant urologist at Tema General Hospital, said his motivation stemmed from a desire to go beyond writing prescriptions and actively contribute to reducing the disease’s impact on livelihoods.
“I have attempted to answer most frequently asked questions about prostate cancer, provide helpful information on the latest treatment modalities, and offer a practical guide for decision-making for both clinicians and patients,” Dr. Bray said during the launch.
The book comprises 22 chapters covering topics ranging from prostate enlargement and inflammation to treatment for localized and advanced prostate cancer, as well as a global perspective on the disease.
Speakers at the event, including Dr. Ralph Armah, Medical Director of Tema General Hospital, and Prof. Matthew Yamoah Kyei, Head of Surgery at the University of Ghana Medical School, commended Dr. Bray for his dedication and for bringing pride to Tema General Hospital.
The launch was attended by representatives from the Ghana Association of Urological Surgeons (GAUS), New Crystals Hospital, Raphal Medical Centre, Impact-Caiquo Hospital, Lena Hospital, Dawhenya Medical Centre, Mount Camel Hospital, Sakomuno Community Hospital, International Maritime Hospital, Tema Women’s Hospital, and staff of Tema General Hospital.
Copies of Understanding Prostate Cancer and Its Treatments are now available at the Outpatient Department (OPD) of Tema General Hospital.
