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.
