Description
How to treat advanced prostatic cancer remains controversial, despite intense basic and clinical research investigating the pathogenesis and natural history of this unique cancer highly prevalent in elderly males. Nine experts were asked to meet and discuss the facts. This resulting monograph gives an overview of the available knowledge on all aspects of the subject. The objective evaluation and consensus opinion of the authors presented here set this book apart from other publications with conflicting viewpoints. For readers eager to obtain a comprehensive and balanced view of the thousands of clinical contributions and clear advice on the choices, this book is a must.
