"A valuable quick reference for medical students, general practitioners and medical oncologists, as well as urologists ... especially well suited for medical students who are interested in the field of urology as well as those urologists or oncologists still in training, as it provides a solid framework for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer ... This can be an excellent resource for those interested in a rapid but useful reference on prostate cancer."
