9780781749848, Volume 7, Issue 355 -- "The original editors, a diverse group, established the book's objectives---to serve as a resource for clinicians from various disciplines, a scientific reference for basic scientists, and a teaching guide for trainees. This newest edition stays true to these objectives and the editors aim to position it, literally, on tables in multidisciplinary clinics around the world. For trainees in the field who are treating patients with complicated conditions, a textbook that is comprehensive and easy to consult is priceless. The academically renowned editors and contributing authors from a broad array of backgrounds have created a comprehensive work with attention given to evidence-based practice patterns. The chapter on the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer is well written. In addition, the chapter on prostate biopsy serves as a how-to for the urologist and provides sufficient detail for other specialists to understand the complexities and nuances of the procedure. One of the real strengths of this book is its multidisciplinary nature."9780781749848, Volume 7, Issue 355 -- "The original editors, a diverse group, established the book's objectives---to serve as a resource for clinicians from various disciplines, a scientific reference for basic scientists, and a teaching guide for trainees.
