Any discussion of the present success in management of urological
cancers evokes a mixed response. Oncologists and urologists can
enjoy the success with chemotherapy for testicular cancers but
cannot forget the dismal results with any form of treatment, other
than surgery, for renal carcinoma. But these are the less frequent
urolegi cal tumours: what are the attitudes to the more common
prostate and bladder cancers. Intensive study, many clinical trials
and much debate lead us to the conclusion that we understand them
better, we can tailor the treatment more appropriately to the
individual patient but there remains some uncertainty as to the
overall success that we have achieved. There have been no striking
changes in the 5-year survival data. Clinicians tend to see their
success in terms of their special interest. Radiotherapists point
to their success in stage-reduction but what are we to do with the
many patients whose tumour is unaltered by radiotherapy. Urological
surgeons, and especially those who are still influenced by the
shadow of Halsted, point to their success in excising the cancer
but apart from that highly selected group, what are we to do for
the very large number of patients for whom surgery is inappro
priate. Bystanders can only watch and listen to the arguments for
and against these views.
No other book gives you better insight into the expert preparation
of engines for racing and high-performance road use, whether your
interest lies in street, oval track, drag, or stock car racing. The
first chapters explain the fundamentals that govern
high-performance engines: thermodynamic laws, gasflow, mechanical
efficiency, and engine materials and construction. Understanding
these basic factors is crucial to making correct decisions when
tuning or modifying your engine. Actual engine preparation
techniques are described in the middle section, including cylinder
head work and balancing and blueprinting. The final part of the
book focuses on modifying specific engines: American V8s, Porsche
911, Volkswagen Air-cooled and Water-cooled, Cosworth BDA, Formula
Ford 1600, Datsun 4- and 6-cylinder, and Mazda rotary engines.
You'll learn proven techniques to increase performance and
reliability, and, just as important, which modifications won't give
you meaningful gains.
