Review
Reviews of the First Edition
"Currently there are more questions than answers in prostate cancer and the authors certainly could not have been expected to provide all the solutions for these many difficult issues. They have set out the problems clearly, however, and by doing so set a challenge for all of us in the urological community to provide the evidence based resolution to these many thorny issues by carefully constructed, long–term randomised files."
The British Journal of Urology 5–9–96
"I really enjoyed reading this new monograph on prostate cancer. The editor has chosen a very appropriate approach. Indeed Mr Brian Peeling has selected 20 topics for discussion which reflect the most important features about prostate cancer....I agree with the conclusion of the foreword, so beautifully expressed by John P Blandy: These reviews tackle the issue head on, clearly point out the difficulties and dilemma and deal in depth with both sides of the question. They do not, and cannot be expected to provide any easy answers to such difficult questions, but they should leave the urologist better informed and in a far better position to offer wise counsel. Which words could better summarise the value of this book."
European Urology Today 14–10–96
"....Questions and Uncertainties in Prostate Cancer contains useful information and is a helpful resource for understanding many of the controversies in this area."
The Lancet 22–2–97
"...but first let me say that the first book in the series of two was a great success and it looks to me as if the next one will be in the same league.!"
Mr J G Fellow, Consultant Urological Surgeon, Oxford
Product Description
Prostate cancer continues to be a major threat to men′s health, being in many countries the second most common cancer in men. It is, therefore, increasingly important that those faced with difficult clinical questions make the right decisions. Since the first volume, Questions and Uncertainties in Prostate Cancer, there continue to be areas of controversy in the science and clinical management of prostate cancer.
This volume provides a series of state–of–the–art review articles, each of which addresses and answers a contentious question. The authors are all well respected clinicians and researchers whose expertise is used to distil the available evidence into practical advice that can be used by urologists in their day–to–day practice.
