Advancing the Regional Commons in the New East Asia highlights a
number of interests which members of ASEAN and Plus Three countries
collectively recognize. This set of common interests includes not
only economic development but also social development. Written by
nationals in their respective countries, the different chapters in
this volume highlights the different foundations for such common
interests and these reflect the different constructive ways in
which ASEAN and Plus Three countries come to see a multi-strand
cooperative partnership. The task of advancing the regional commons
will involve efforts to recognise and nurture ASEAN's and Plus
Three's common interests in terms of broad social development,
managing regional security issues, the development of a regional
infrastructure, and ensuring collective progress for all member
countries. ASEAN becomes a community in 2015 and the idea of
embracing, protecting, sustaining and advancing the regional
commons become a vital process. Concurrently, APT has also realized
that its contribution to the achieving goal of community and
promoting regional commons is absolutely critical for both ASEAN
and the Plus Three countries. Academics will find in this volume a
clear analytical treatment of issues which regional groupings are
currently facing and this can provide the basis for a comparative
analysis. This volume will also be of interest to students and the
general public looking for a systematic introduction to the
successful implementation of cooperative ventures and also an
assessment of the new collaborative energies which shape this
dynamic region.

The principal role of the diagnostic surgical pathologist is to
serve a patient by assisting the clinician in charge of the
patient's care. In that capacity,the pathologist provides the vital
informationthat should be directly and indirectly useful in guiding
the clinician toward the most appropriate therapy. The material
pathologists receive most commonly is a biopsy or a part of an
organ removed after a definitive pro- dure. To extract useful
information, pathological evaluation proceeds according to a set of
guidelines. Simply reporting a diagnosis of cancer is inadequate.
Detailed additional information is needed so that the clinician can
go on to establish a the- peutic plan as needed. To best serve the
patient, close interaction between the cli- cian and the
pathologist is vital. In the field of urological pathology, there
are problems specific to this system. Typically, in the prostate,
because of its location, there is little room for a surgeon to work
to obtain adequate resection margins, unlike with many other
organs. As a result, questions arise such as "What constitutes an
adequate surgical margin?" "What is the significance of
extraprostatic extension of neoplasm that is still inside the
resection margin?" and "What is the significance of neoplastic
glands found on the resection margin marked with the ink?" It has
been shown that a prostate needle core biopsy can generate much
information that is immediately useful in predicting the extent of
cancer in the prostate and, consequently, the outcome for the
patient.
Laparoscopic surgery is of paramount importance for achieving
minimal invasiveness and respect for the quality of life - two
hallmarks of contemporary medicine. Laparoscopy is at the forefront
of urology today, with dramatic advances in engineering and
surgical technique. Because they promise to be less invasive, the
innovations presented in this volume will become tomorrows
standard. In utero and pediatric laparoscopic surgery are
discussed, as are varying approaches to laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
Other topics include radical surgery for renal cell carcinoma and
transitional cell carcinoma, nephron-sparing laparoscopic surgery
for renal cancer, and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for
testicular cancer. With sections on pyeloplasty, nephropexy,
urolithiasis, stress incontinence, kidney transplantation, and
dialysis, this book is an especially valuable source in the fields
of endourology, laparoscopic surgery, pediatric surgery, and
endocrine surgery.
