Description
While prostate cancer can now be detected earlier due to improved screening methods, the lack of clear strategies for its surgical and/or radiotherapeutic treatment is a cause for concern. This volume brings together leading epidemiologists, pathologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists and biologists with a special interest in local prostatic carcinoma. Drawing on their many years of experience, they provide a valuable update on recent advances in the field and develop clearer guidelines for co-ordinating the management of these common malignancies. The contents include data on endoscopic procedures for evaluating pelvic lymph node status, predictive factors for metastasis, and the proper use of the PSA assay. The techniques of radical prostatectomy and external beam radiotherapy are described in detail.
