Overview

This is a contemporary review of advances in the clinical management of urological oncology. The text is divided into four parts for ease of reference. In these sections, the molecular biology and biochemistry of bladder cancer, prostate cancer and renal cell cancer are examined. There are reports on the risk factors in superficial bladder cancer and the role of chemotherapy and bladder reconstruction in invasive cancer, along with comparative views of conservative treatment and the role of radical surgery in prostate cancer. Current methods of hormonal manipulation are also discussed. Conservative surgery for renal cancer, the use of interleukins, and the use of radical lymphadenectomy for testis cancer are comprehensively set out for the reader. A unique feature is a review at the beginning of each section which outlines controversial areas.
