Description
Minimally invasive surgical techniques are moving into the mainstream of urological
practice. Even less invasive techniques, some of which can involve no use of
the knife whatsoever, are rapidly being developed and implemented for treating
urological cancer. Interventional Techniques in Uro-oncology is the first text
to cover these techniques in total and provides a comprehensive review of the
state-of-the-art minimally invasive interventions.
This well-illustrated reference provides the basic science behind each technique
before explaining when and how best to perform them. It examines their use in
different clinical settings, the advantages and disadvantages of each technique
in the management of specific tumor types, and their suitability for different
patients. Future techniques are discussed including the potential of nanotechnology
in the delivery of urologic healthcare. Each chapter is easy to navigate with
key points and references.
Interventional Techniques in Uro-oncology is an essential reference for training and practicing oncologists, urologists and radiologists as well as the general physician with a keen interest in cancer care. Its approachable style will also inform non-experts on what is available and whether a particular intervention is suitable for their patient in the clinic.
