A multidisciplinary group of internationally recognized authorities--including urologists, surgeons, and medical and radiation oncologists--has joined forces to provide a definitive reference for all physicians and surgeons who treat genitourinary cancers.Coverage begins with state-of-the-art reviews of the principles of genitourinary oncology, including molecular diagnostics, pathologic and radiologic diagnosis, retroperitoneal and pelvic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and the latest innovations in radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and palliative management. Also included are discussions on clinical trial design, clinical decision making, and costs of treating genitourinary cancer. The next ten major sections focus on specific disease sites and cancers and provide complete information on pathology, tumor markers, molecular biology, clinical presentation of cancer, diagnosis, staging, and therapy for each stage of disease. The book concludes with a discussion of the nurse practitioner's role in patient support.
