Synopsis

Worldwide prostate cancer is rising annually and is a major cause of cancer mortality. Prostate Cancer provides a single, comprehensive source of information covering important advances in clinical and basic science research, emphasising their clinical applications. There are many unresolved issues concerning prostate cancer, such as the benefits of screening, and management in the elderly. This book provides a definitive reference including the changes in use of combined androgen blockades which have had an impact on clinical practice, and new developments in implant radiation, hormone therapy and laser coagulation. There are chapters on clinical trials and meta-analyses, and the social and economic burden of prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer covers all aspects of biology and management for oncologists, urologists, cancer researchers in prostate cancer and other clinicians dealing with patients with prostate cancer.
