This book comprehensively reviews the potential of focal therapy and discusses why the changing face of prostate cancer warrants a change in the way we treat men with the disease. It deals with the mechanisms by which disease can be localized within the gland and then the different technologies used for focal ablation. Bringing together eminent contributors in one accessible reference, this book introduces focal therapy to all urologists, oncologists, and radiologists who are involved in the treatment of men with prostate cancer.

From the Back Cover

Do you manage patients with prostate cancer?

Are you keen on learning more about the very latest form of treatment?

Focal therapy represents a potentially huge shift in the way in which men with localized prostate cancer are treated. By targeting and treating only the cancer areas in the gland, it offers a credible alternative to more traditional radical surgery or active surveillance.

Focal Therapy in Prostate Cancer provides you with an evidence-based, dynamic and comprehensive review of this exciting new form of treatment, written by an outstanding international team of leading urologists, oncologists, radiologists and pathologists. Well-illustrated throughout, chapters are divided into key sections covering the key questions faced by cancer specialists and patients interested in focal therapy:

• Is there a role for focal therapy in localized prostate cancer?
• How can we accurately locate cancer within the gland?
• How can we create discrete tissue necrosis?
• How can we determine the success of focal therapy?

No other book goes into such detail or covers the range of different technologies used for this cutting-edge therapy. With expert guidance throughout to help improve your clinical knowledge, Focal Therapy in Prostate Cancer is an essential guide for all training and practicing oncologists, urologists, and radiologists as well as the general physician with a keen interest in cancer care.
