Editors Tewari, Whelan, and Graham offer this comprehensive volume on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Epidemiology and screening are discussed, followed by histopathology, biomarkers, and imaging aspects of diagnosis. Discussion of management begins with how to counsel the newly diagnosed patient and active surveillance for low-risk cases. Surgery, radiation therapy, and some novel therapies for localized cancer are presented, as well as follow-up, first intervention, and monitoring of PSA. The end of the book moves into treatment of metastatic cases, new therapies for hormone relapsed disease, and the issues of end-of-life care in untreatable cases and perspective on prostate cancer as a chronic disease. A final chapter looks at the evolving toolkit and new frontiers in research. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
