Treatment Options in Urological Cancer
Treatment Options in Urological Cancer provides both the trainee and the practising urologist with an up-to-date consensus of the current management of urological cancer. It does so in a unique way by setting out the opposing arguments in a controversial area of treatment and then providing an expert overview to tease out the key messages. Each type of cancer (bladder, kidney, testis, prostate and penis) is covered in a dedicated section covering the issues of surgery, drugs, hormone treatment, pathology and molecular biology.
* Takes each organ in turn (prostate, kidney, bladder, testis and penis) and tackles the controversies head-on by including chapters on various (often rival) treatments for each disease.
* Each section includes a commentary from the editor which draws together the various strands, and outlines the principal areas of consensus and disagreement.
* Edited by a leading authority in the field.
