"Renal Cell Carcinoma: Clinical Management" provides a
comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field, and will
serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons and
researchers with an interest in kidney cancer. The volume reviews
new data about risk factors for the disease, profiles the new
staging system for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), highlights our
current understanding of familial syndromes of RCC and their
molecular genetics, and provides new perspectives about imaging of
renal tumors. For localized disease, a greater appreciation of
nephron-sparing approaches and the importance of preservation of
renal function is discussed in detail. Advances in surgical
techniques are highlighted. For metastatic disease, the molecular
biology of kidney cancer is reviewed in a concise and
understandable manner, including the data that has fostered novel
targeted approaches that have revolutionized management. The
several landmark phase III targeted therapy trials published in the
last few years are placed in context with respect to current
management. Integration of surgery and systemic therapy through
cytoreductive and consolidative approaches has yielded provocative
data that promises to further advance the field, and major advances
in this domain are also be discussed.
