Handbook of Prostate Cancer and Other Genitourinary Malignancies: A Comprehensive Guide

Handbook of Prostate Cancer and Other Genitourinary Malignancies provides a patient-centered, practical approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and clinical management of cancers found in the genitourinary system. With the recent surge of newly available treatments, the new AJCC Staging guidelines from the 8th Edition, and changes in approaches to care, remaining current and up-to-date can be extremely challenging for practicing oncologists, urologists, general practitioners, and trainees.

The handbook discusses the standards and controversies of care for managing each genitourinary malignancy and stage of disease, including expert insight and recommendations for making treatment decisions from oncologists and urologists. Clearly marked key points emphasize the most important concepts in each chapter, while numerous tables and figures summarize and highlight important information for quick reference.

Handbook of Prostate Cancer and Other Genitourinary Malignancies is an indispensable guide for all oncologists, urologists, and practitioners who regularly care for prostate cancer patients and patients with kidney cancer, bladder cancer, upper urothelial tract cancer, testicular cancer, or penile cancer.
