About this title

Review

From the reviews:

"In this detailed and up-to-date book, leaders in prostate cancer research review the current knowledge of genetic pathways and major molecular aberrations involved in prostate cancer as well as the treatment of the disease. ... The figures and tables are clear and provide essential additional information. ... the editors and authors have succeeded in clearly summarizing the most important recent advances in prostate cancer research, and the book will interest urologists, medical oncologists, and prostate cancer researchers." (Joost L. Boormans, The New England Journal of Medicine, August, 2008)

From the Back Cover

Award winning authors present a comprehensive review of new perspectives in prostate cancer research and open up new directions in the clinical management of prostate cancer.
