Overview

The first edition of this breakthrough title was very well received by urologists around the world and became the standard reference work on the subject of BPH. However, with constant changes and improvements being made in therapeutics and treatment in general, any book on this important subject needs to be updated frequently. Now the first edition's original sections have been expanded and, once again, a team of expert editors and contributors ensure that readers are presented with the latest information about BPH. All aspects of the disorder are explored, from pathophysiology to the latest treatments and clinical trials including MTOPS and PREDICT.
