Dieses Buch richtet sich an alle onkologisch tatigen Arzte, die
mit (moglichen) Knochenmetastasen ihrer Patienten konfrontiert
sind.
Es bietet eine komprimierte interdisziplinare Ubersicht zu allen

This book is a basic, practical guide to performing and
interpreting state-of-the-art prostate MRI, utilizing the latest
guidelines in the field. Prostate MRI has become one of the fastest
growing examinations in the radiology practice, and this demand has
continuously increased within the past decade. Since it is
relatively new, MRI of the prostate is predominantly being
performed at academic institutions, however there is a growing
demand within the lower-tier health care institutions to offer this
examination to their patients. This is an ideal guide for
radiologists who want to enhance or initiate prostate MRI service
for their referring clinicians and as a manual for technologists
and those who are in training. Prostate cancer is the second
leading cause of cancer death in men, exceeded only by lung cancer.
The best predictor of disease outcome lies with correct diagnosis,
which requires precise imaging and diagnostic procedures aided by
prostate MRI. Urologists, medical oncologists and radiation
oncologists all agree that multi-parametric prostate MRI is
essential for evaluation of prostate cancer. However, the technical
aspects of prostate MR imaging are not as straightforward as for
the other imaging modalities and constantly evolving. Its small
size presents a real challenge to the radiologist, who needs to do
the T2 and diffusion weighted images and perform a dynamic contrast
enhanced sequence correctly. These images may also need to be
analyzed on an independent workstation. Due to the absence of a
current reference manual, when a radiologist wants to establish a
prostate imaging service, he/she needs to attend dedicated prostate
MR workshops or dive into the literature search alone, only to get
more confused about what to do and how to do it. With this book,
expert authors were asked to give clear guidance to those who want
to enhance or initiate their prostate imaging service. With this
much-needed, concise, practical guidance, radiologists can perform
and interpret multi-parametric prostate MRI in a standardized
fashion, in concordance with PI-RADS v2.1 that can be applicable to
all available hardware platforms (GE, Philips, Siemens, Toshiba).
Additionally, they can perform post-processing for possible
targeted biopsy and interpret post-therapy and PET studies. The
book discusses imaging protocols (planning and prescription) and
sequence parameters with representative images for each MRI
sequence. This handbook-style practical manual can be used in the
radiology reading room by those interpreting the MR exam as a
reference as well as at the MRI scanner by the technologists as a
guide. Coverage of basic prostate anatomy, pathology, Urologists'
point of view, MRI guided radiation treatment planning and
molecular imaging is also included. Throughout the book, authors
will discuss basics, pitfalls, and provide tips in image
acquisition and interpretation, alongside several case examples.
This book is a comprehensive guide to extracorporeal stone wave
lithotripsy (ESWL) that includes a step-by-step approach for
treating every possible kidney stone position. The book has an easy
to read structure that will help readers understand ESWL quickly.
Written by leading experts who have used ESWL to treat over 23000
patients, this book brings together years of practical knowledge
and expertise in one concise volume. The book aims to utilise this
knowledge and allow people to independently carry out kidney stone
treatment on patients. Diagrams and illustrations show the methods
and techniques needed in ESWL, as well as the potential
complications.
Written by over 250 of the world's leading urologists and
uro-oncologists from the USA, Canada, UK, Austria, Belgium,
Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and
Singapore, who tackle prostate cancer on a daily basis, this
comprehensive and fully up-to-date illustrated text reference
covers the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and
treatment of early and advanced prostate cancer.
"Treat yourself and your man-root to a thorough and often uproarious read-through. Your health prospects will be pointing at the ceiling in no time."—Peter Moore, former editor of Men's Health
Men are notoriously reluctant to see a doctor. Only three in five men report going for an annual physical, and over 40 percent only ever visit the clinic when their symptoms become unbearable. Many know little or nothing about their bodies, with dire consequences for their well-being.
In Happy Down Below, men’s health specialist Dr. Oliver Gralla provides a clever and highly entertaining remedy to that situation. Packed with colorful anecdotes and quirky illustrations, this cheeky guidebook offers practical tips and clear, accessible explanations for helping men (and women) better understand the male body, learn to care for it, and become more comfortable speaking about it with their doctors when things go wrong. With plenty of relatable metaphors and a light, conversational tone, Dr. Gralla provides simple, research-based answers to questions such as: Do male enhancement pills actually work? Why does erectile dysfunction happen and how is it treated? What is a “normal” penis―and how big is it really? And much, much more.
This book provides a systematic review of the management and
treatment of this disease. The concise and highly structured
chapters feature essential background knowledge and commentary on
recent advances within each step of a range of patient pathways.
Management of Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer provides a framework
for patients' care based on the research, as well as practically
and clinically oriented guidelines. This book is relevant to
trainees and practicing urologists and oncologists, in addition to
medical professionals involved in the treatment of bladder cancer.
Today, the arsenal of high-precision or targeted radiotherapy
includes a variety of techniques and approaches that, like the
pieces of a puzzle, need to be put together to provide the prostate
cancer patient with high-level optimized radiation treatment. This
book examines in detail the role of these innovative radiation
techniques in the management of prostate cancer. In addition, a
variety of current controversies regarding treatment are carefully
explored, including whether prophylactic treatment of the pelvic
lymphatics is essential, the magnitude of the effect of dose
escalation, whether a benefit accrues from hypofractionation, and
what evidence exists for the superiority of protons or heavy ions.
"Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer: Innovative Techniques and Current
Controversies" is intended for both radiation oncologists and
urologists with an interest in the up-to-date capabilities of
modern radiation oncology for the treatment of prostate cancer.
This book provides information on a range of issues related to
prostate cancer survivorship, including; psychosexual care, health
related quality of life, treatment, follow-up care, new
psychosexual pathways, and acute and chronic co-morbidities. The
book also covers the needs and challenges in survivorship care, the
requirements of care, the future of survivorship care, and role of
patient conferences. This book aims to give oncologists,
urologists, and specialist nurses help in how to manage patients in
the prostate cancer survivorship phase. This guidance is based on
real life experiences handling prostate cancer survivorship, and is
developed further through utilising the views of both health care
professionals and patients.
