Summary
Serving as a classic spin-off of one of the most important and critically acclaimed books on the Informa Healthcare urology list (Roger Kirby's Prostate Cancer book was highly commended at last years RSM book awards), Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer will focus purely on the "how to treat" scenario faced by urologic surgeons treating all stages of prostate cancer.
Whereas its parent book successfully analyses prostate cancer at all levels from the epidemiology and pathology through to the diag-nosis, management and postop complications, and is seen as the 'Bible' in the field of prostate cancer books, this spin-off, using the chapters published previously will concentrate entirely on the treatment of the condition, both its early and advanced stage, which essentially, is what an enormous proportion of urologists are concerned with. Specifically targeting the urologic surgeon who does not feel required/able to purchase the entire package of the parent book, Treatment Methods for Early and Advanced Prostate Cancer will undoubtedly prove extremely popular, especially to residents and trainee surgeons wishing to learn and improve their treatment techniques.
Essentially, though it will be using the treatment chapters from the parent book, this smaller companion will also include 2 brand new and essential chapters. The first chapter examines the phenomenon that is the "Da Vinci" robot, a robotic urological technique that is causing waves amongst urologists worldwide, and the second will be an additional one on cryoablation, another pioneering technique that is preferred by a small but fast growing number of urologists.
This second chapter deals specifically with the complications that occur using cryoablation.
