This fully updated and revised second edition address specifically
some of the significant advances made in our understanding of the
pathophysiology of penile cancer including discussion of the
suspected role of the human papilloma virus in penile
carcinogenesis. Similarly, the molecular pathways implicated in
precancerous and penile cancer will be discussed as these are the
present targets of novel therapeutic approaches to this disease.
The text details the recent national and international diagnostic
and treatment guidelines that have been developed by both the
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (c) and the European
Urological Association establishing evidence based standards upon
which the care of penile cancer should be based. The text also
covers significant advances made in the diagnostic and therapeutic
approach to both primary tumors and inguinal nodal metastases
resulting from penile cancer such as penile sparing surgery and
minimally invasive inguinal lymph node surgery. The text will
similarly highlights the improvement in cancer specific outcome in
the management of loco-regionally advanced (N2/3) penile cancer
managed by upfront systemic chemotherapy followed by consolidative
surgery in appropriately selected patients based on recent
prospective phase II data. It also covers the role of radiotherapy
in the management of penile cancer for both primary tumors and/or
at sites of regional or distant metastases. Finally, some of the
novel systemic approaches being devised in the management of
advanced penile cancer along with some upcoming international
trials soon to be opened which likely will re-define the present
therapeutic approaches to penile cancer are discussed. The Second
Edition of Penile Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment will constitute a
comprehensive review of the above mentioned subjects in addition to
a few select topics of high clinical relevance, with the readership
predominantly consisting of urologists, medical and surgical
oncologists, and other healthcare professionals.
