Synopsis

This edition (first, 1990) provides the urologist with didactic views and practical guidance covering surgical approaches, diagnostic modalities, nonsurgical therapies, and areas of continuing and supportive care. Organ specific neoplasms are discussed in individual chapters preceded by a comprehensive overview section. The spectrum of surgical recommendations encompasses traditional as well as recent approaches such as laparoscopic extirpative surgeries, newer continent urinary diversion, improved techniques for radical retropubic and perineal prostatectomies, and nerve sparing retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Alternative and adjuvant approaches to the management of genitourinary tumors are presented by radiation therapists and medical oncologists, while chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy are presented from the perspective of urologic oncologists as well as medical oncologists. A concluding chapter covers the genetic base for urologic malignancy. Includes detailed b&w drawings and photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
