From the Back Cover

Prostate cancer continues to be a major threat to men's health, being the second most common cancer in men in many countries. Every year it causes approximately 35,000 deaths in Europe and 38,000 in the US, and the incidence is rising. For the foreseeable future, prostate cancer will remain an important part of the urologist's workload and it will therefore be increasingly important that those faced with the difficult clinical decisions, make the right choices.

There are no fewer controversies in the science and clinical management of prostate cancer since publication of the first volume in this series Questions and Uncertainties in Prostate Cancer. Time has moved on, some questions have been answered, many remain, and new areas of uncertainty have been uncovered. Challenges in Prostate Cancer provides a new selection of state-of-the-art review articles, each of which addresses a contentious question. Edited by a leading authority in the field, the book contains the contributions of some 24 well-respected clinicians and researchers whose expertise is used to distil the available evidence into practical advice that can be used by urologists in their day-to-day practice.
