The authors aim to provide essential information on various clinical cases on urological cancers. The main messages are well referenced and the texts phrasing is written in a simple and user-friendly style. The book also contains summarizing tables and high quality original pictures. Several expert panels (American Urologists Association, European Association of Urologists, Association Française des Urologues, etc) are proposing guidelines aiming at providing detailed recommendations to the Urologists facing difficult urological scenarios and no significant discordance exist between them since they are all based on the existing published studies dealing with different aspects of the urological cancers.

"This was all in all a pretty good read. ... it provides a succinct and up-to-date authoritative guide to management. It is a good investment of time and money. I'm sure those preparing for the FRCS(Urol) would have most areas covered. For the practising clinician - a read of this will make you MDT prepared!" (Tim Lane, urologynews, urologynews.uk.com, May 1, 2018)

"This book provides fundamental knowledge and can easily serve as a primer for urology residents rotating on a genitourinary-oncological service. Further, it can serve as a quick reference for seasoned clinicians on an array of urological malignancies, given the evolving practices in this field. ... This is an essential part of any student's or practicing urologist's library. Its beauty lies in its ability to distill so much relevant information into a readable and accessible format." (Robert B. Den, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
