Written for neurologists and other physicians who participate in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, the authors based this book on their individual clinical experiences. The text is practical. The first seven chapters provide a foundation for tumor pathology, biology, radiology, and the treatment modalities of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Each of the tumor-specific chapters has a common format, reviewing the history, epidemiology, biology, pathology, clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and complications. There is a particular emphasis on treatment in these chapters.

Urological Oncology, Second Edition offers an updated multi-disciplinary and multi professional approach to the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of patients being investigated and treated for urological malignancies. As a professional resource for all nurses involved in the care of uro-oncology patients, particularly those in advanced practice roles, there is an emphasis on developing advanced practice with in-depth discussions to support evidence based, patient focused care. Mainly aimed at trainee nurses, nurse practitioners in urology / urological oncology, Urological Oncology, Second Edition, is also useful for general nurse practitioners. With this in mind the level is higher than that of a general nursing book.
