Infos

Minimally invasive surgical techniques are moving into the
mainstream of urological practice. Even less invasive techniques,
some of which can involve no use of the knife whatsoever, are
rapidly being developed and implemented for treating urological
cancer. Interventional Techniques in Uro-oncology is the
first text to cover these techniques in total and provides a
comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art minimally invasive
interventions.

This well-illustrated reference provides the basic science
behind each technique before explaining when and how best to
perform them. It examines their use in different clinical settings,
the advantages and disadvantages of each technique in the
management of specific tumor types, and their suitability for
different patients. Future techniques are discussed including the
potential of nanotechnology in the delivery of urologic healthcare.
Each chapter is easy to navigate with key points and
references.

Interventional Techniques in Uro-oncology is an essential
reference for training and practicing oncologists, urologists and
radiologists as well as the general physician with a keen interest
in cancer care. Its approachable style will also inform non-experts
on what is available and whether a particular intervention is
suitable for their patient in the clinic.

Rezensionen

"This book provides an easy to read reference on interventional techniques on uro-oncology and a valuable addition to the medical library. It would be of benefit to a wide range of medical specialists including urologists, oncologists, urology and oncology nurse specialists, and radiologists, as well as general practitioners with an interest in cancer treatment." (Urology News, 1 November 2011)

"The individual chapters of this book are, overall, well written and excellent discussions of their respective tpics, although there is some heterogeneity in the suitability for the general medical audience. The book may be particularly appropriate for novices in the field who are looking to get some important background information as an initial starting point." (Doody's, 2 September 2011)
