Treatment Options in Urological Cancer

Treatment Options in Urological Cancer provides the trainee and 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.
