The past decade of breakthroughs in clinical research and
unprecedented technological advancements has affected few medical
conditions more than prostate cancer. Each new year brings with it
updated prostate cancer recommendations from qualified physicians
and research organizations. While this year's suggestions may be
vastly different from last year's, even the most up-to-date advice
can vary significantly from one doctor to the next. And then
there's the Internet--a bubbling cauldron of misinformation. Part
outdated, part misleading, part inaccurate, part incomplete. Enter
The New Prostate Cancer Rules, the most complete, current, and
accurate analysis of prostate cancer treatment, prevention,
research, and technology. Internationally renowned, leading
prostate cancer experts Drs. Steven Lamm, Herbert Lepor, and Dan
Sperling offer cutting-edge commentary on the questions that all
modern men need to have answered. Learn new ways to help prevent
the second most common cancer in American men. Determine whether
early or frequent PSA screenings are right for you. Explore
groundbreaking achievements in the field of oncology that are
helping to increase survival rates and improve quality of life
after diagnosis. And discover state-of-the-art imaging and
treatment technologies that are finally available to men who face
this common and deadly disease. Arm yourself with The New Prostate
Cancer Rules and the confidence that your decisions are being made
with the best possible information as your guide.
The ultimate objective of therapy for genitourinary malignancies is
cure without any adverse effect on quality of life. Therapy for
Genitourinary Cancer addresses modifications of standard surgical
procedures that purport to decrease the morbidity of therapy for
testis cancer and renal cell carcinoma without compromising cure.
The rationale for decreasing the extent of surgical extirpation for
bladder cancer and rhabdomyosarcoma is also summarized. The ability
to limit the extent of therapy depends upon the ability to predict
the metastatic potential of the primary tumor. The application of
cell motility and of DNA ploidy to predict the metastatic potential
of prostate cancer are presented. Since little progress has been
made to enhance survival rates for prostate cancer, more aggressive
treatment regimens are presently being advocated. In this volume,
the roles of adjuvant radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy,
and complete androgen suppression for metastatic prostate cancer
are reviewed as well as the preliminary experiences with suramin,
and the implications of combining tumor necrosis factor and
chemotherapeutic drugs.The use of bladder substitution with
intestinal segments has enhanced the quality of life following
pelvic exerterative surgery; the development of carcinoma in these
intestinal bladders is discussed. Therapy for Genitourinary Cancer
reflects the commitment of clinicians and basic scientists to
enhance the effectiveness of therapy for genitourinary
malignancies. It is hoped that the innovative approaches to
treatment presented in this volume will gain clinical acceptance
and improve our ability to cure these tumors.
Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few
general oncology text books are generally out of the date. Single
papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom
comprehensive; these are often preliminary reports on a very
limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently
publish good in depth reviews of cancer topics, and published
symposium lectures are often the best overviewes available.
Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically,
and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest
will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of
authoritative volumes which aim to meet this need. it is an attempt
to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering
virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the
coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or
by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem
in the following fashion. First, by dividing the oncology
literature into specific subdivisions such as lung cancer, genito
urinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking eminent
authori ties in each of these areas to edit a volume on the
specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each optic and tumor
type is covered in a volume appear ing frequently and predictably,
discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of
treatment modalities, basic biology, and more."
