MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Concentrating on the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of the bladder, rather than the entire field of genitourinary oncology, this book discusses in depth all the important advances in molecular genetics of relevance to clinical practice. Progress in both imaging and non-imaging modalities from recent clinical trials is well documented and critically evaluated in a manner that will prove invaluable for practising urooncologists. Furthermore, the management of patients with superficial, muscle-invasive, and advanced disease is discussed, and new treatment results presented. Numerous illustrations and tables serve to assist in understanding the data presented.
