Synopsis

Textbook of Penile Cancer reports accurately on recent developments in the management of penile cancer, whilst also covering the fundamentals of the disease, to provide a comprehensive, stand-alone and up-to-date volume on the subject. The surgical management of penile cancer is shifting towards increasingly refined methods, as it is believed that a proportion of patients undergo overtreatment for the disease. Where traditionally the management of penile cancer has involved partial or total penectomy combined with radical inguinal lymphadenectomy, over the last few years the treatment   involves conservative penile reconstructive surgery  such that sexual function and phallic length is preserved. Furthermore, the increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy rather than  radical inguinal lymphadenectomy prevents the unnecessary removal of lymph nodes in patients where  lymph node  metastases has not occurred. There is also likely to be a change in the role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for  advanced disease. Textbook of Penile Cancer covers the epidemiology, molecular biology, radiological imaging, as well as the  latest surgical advances  in the treatment of this disease. This book is a valuable reference tool for Urological Surgeons, Genitourinary Physicians, Trainee Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, Oncologists, Dermatologists and Sexual Health Physicians.

About this title

Review:

From the reviews:

 

“The authors describe the epidemiology before giving an exhaustive outline of the molecular concepts and pathogenesis of penile cancer. ... This textbook represents an excellent update on penile cancer, which will be of interest to urologists and oncologists.” (European Urology Today, Vol. 25 (5), October-November, 2013)

He became chief of the department of urology in 1993 and professor of urologic oncology in 2000. His clinical work focussed solely in the field of uro-oncology. His research has centred around tissue preservation and early detection of metastases. He has been at the forefront of developing sentinel lymph node biopsy in urologic cancers, bladder preservation and prostate sparing cystectomy. He has authored more than 150 peer reviewed papers and has written a number of chapters in oncology textbooks. He is a keen ice skater, snowboarder, and alpinist.
