Overview

This work discusses the progress made in the diagnosis of prostate carcinoma with the introduction of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), PSA determination, and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. The book also discusses improved operating techniques. The use of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy before radical prostatectomy is still a matter of debate, so the book reserves judgement on this technique, arguing that it is only possible to make a final decision on the basis of long-term observations.
