Description and Table of Contents
Description
This new volume of the Site-Speciifc Cancer Series detailing genitourinary (GU) malagnancies. Providing you with information on cancers of the bladder, kidney (renal), penis, and testicle, `Genitourinary Cancers' provides you with the details you need to effectively care for your patients with these cancers and their families. Prostate cancer, which is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men living in the United States, is detailed in another book within the Site-Specific Cancer Series, `Prostate Cancer'. Chapters in this volume detail risk factors of GU cancers, the anatomy and physiology of the genitourinary system (including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, penis, and scrotum), pathophysiology, and prevention, screening, and early detection of GU malignancies. The book also details treatments of GU malignancies, including penile carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and testicular cancer. In addition, you'll learn how evidence-based practice impacts urology oncology nursing care. Because of the organs affected, these cancers have a significant impact on the lives of patients, their spouses, and partners. As such, a chapter is devoted to sexual function and sexual rehabilitation, with details on assessment tools and treatment options for men and women.
