With an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and
decision-making, this practical resource reflects the extraordinary
advances in the treatment of prostate cancer during the past five
years. Approximately thirty international, leading-edge
investigators describe the most current evidence-based approaches
to prostate cancer treatment. The book provides a comprehensive
view of the entire spectrum of prostate cancer management from
initial screening through novel and experimental treatments that
have the potential for a major impact on practice. The book first
reviews fundamental issues including epidemiology, screening, risk
reduction, diagnosis and pathologic characterization, staging, and
imaging. This includes strategies for improving the accuracy of PSA
screening and an update on controversies surrounding the ISUP
Modified Gleason Score. The book covers novel molecular and
genotype profiling in prostate cancer, including morphometric and
systems pathology. Detailed information is provided on radiographic
imaging for diagnosis and staging. The treatment sections of the
book correspond to the staging of disease. The treatment of
localized disease addresses the range of multidisciplinary
management options including a discussion of prostate cancer's
impact on the quality of life. A detailed review of multimodal
therapies (medical, surgical, and radiologic) addresses the
treatment of localized advanced disease, and coverage of advanced
metastatic prostate cancer reviews current management options
including a range of promising novel and experimental agents. The
book also discusses counseling the high-risk patient. Several
chapters incorporate models of care delivery, patient navigation
for multidisciplinary care, genomic and risk assessment, and
comparative effects of research in treatment decision-making. The
book is designed as a management text for all health care
professionals who provide care for prostate cancer patients as well
