When former president Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Randy Jones was not surprised.  He’s a professor of nursing at the University of Virginia, and he knows that one in eight American men will eventually get the disease. 

There are various treatments that may lead to a cure, but it’s not always easy to decide which one is best. That’s why Jones developed a questionnaire that can help men and their families make a choice that’s right for them. Sandy Hausman has that story.
