Description
This special issue presents the proceedings of an international symposium held in Paris and attended by the world's experts in the field of prostate cancer. The contributions focus on the recent advances in the treatment of prostate cancer and show that several of the approaches to treatment discussed here are superseding the original gold standards of bilateral orchiectomy. Discussing the results of the most recent clinical trials in Europe and North America, this publication will undoubtedly prove to be of great value to urologists, andrologists and oncologists.
