Handbook of Prostate Cancer and Other Genitourinary Malignancies

The Handbook of Prostate Cancer and Other Genitourinary Malignancies is a comprehensive guide that aims to provide a patient-centered, practical approach to diagnosis, treatment, and clinical management of cancers found in the genitourinary system. Edited by Teresa G. Hayes MD PhD, Martha Pritchett Mims MD PhD, and Jennifer Marie Taylor MD MPH, this book is an indispensable guide for all oncologists, urologists, and practitioners who regularly care for prostate cancer patients and patients with other genitourinary malignancies such as kidney cancer, bladder cancer, upper urothelial tract cancer, testicular cancer, or penile cancer.

The book discusses the standards and controversies of care for managing each genitourinary malignancy and stage of the disease, including expert insight and recommendations for making treatment decisions from oncologists and urologists. It covers all FDA-approved therapies for each genitourinary malignancy and indicates therapies that are in clinical trials.

One of the unique features of the book is its ability to deliver the need-to-know points of prostate cancer screening, including recommendations on how to assess severity, avoid misdiagnosis, and mitigate overtreatment of low-grade prostate cancer. The book also provides clinical pearls and treatment recommendations for patients who don’t “fit” the standard guidelines, preparing physicians for challenging case scenarios and treatment decisions where controversies to clinical management persist.

Throughout the book, clearly marked key points emphasize the most important concepts in each chapter, while numerous tables and figures summarize and highlight important information for quick reference. Furthermore, the book includes recommendations and best practices for follow-up and survivorship care, making it a go-to handbook for every stage of patient care.
