pagine: 576
Completely revised and updated, Textbook of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Second Edition provides a state-of-the-art overview of the entire field. The first edition of this breakthrough book was very well received by urologists around the world and became the standard reference work on the subject of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). With the constant changes and improvements being made in therapeutics and treatment in general, any book on this important subject needs to be updated frequently. The first edition's original sections have been expanded and, once again, a team of expert editors and contributors ensure that the material presented reflects the latest available information.The editorial panel examines all aspects of the disorder, from pathophysiology to the latest treatments and clinical trials including MTOPS and PREDICT. They explore laser prostatectomy using the holmium laser and a host of other minimally invasive techniques that are seriously challenging standard transurethral resection (TUR) as the gold standard intervention for this disease.
Building on the foundation of the first edition, this second edition will continue to be the quintessential resource on BPH.
Prostate Cancer
Understanding the Pathophysiology and Re-designing a Therapeutic Approach
Fernand Labrie , Michael Koutsillieris
editore: Broken Hill Publishers Ltd
pagine: 240
This book presents a review on the genes already linked to an increased susceptibility to prostate cancer. It addresses also the important issues of the detection of disease spread as early as possible using molecular methods and the identification of the genes, which are involved in the unique environment of the bones where resistance to endrocrine therapy is a major issue. "Prostate Cancer" also provides a description of the histopathological changes, which accompany androgen blockade and discusses the potential strategies.
Pathology of the Urinary Bladder
Christopher S. Foster , Jeffrey Ross
editore: Saunders (W.B.) Co Ltd
pagine: 342
"Pathology of the Bladder", a new volume in the "Major Problems in Pathology" series, represents a comprehensive monograph on the pathology of the urinary bladder together with its associated tissue in both genders. It explores the contemporary understanding of the complex embryological reorganization occurring early in the intrauterine life of the developing human and continuing expansion of molecular diagnostics extending through the full range of clinical and pathologic findings encountered in practice. It defines their diagnostic features and criteria, and presents effective strategies for solving diagnostic challenges.
Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery in Malignancies
Gill S Inderbir , Jean J. M. C. H. de la Rosette
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 324
The horizons of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, such that the overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures have now been performed laparoscopically. In some of these procedures, the laparoscopic alternative has been demonstrated to be superior to its open counterpart; in others comparative analyses are ongoing; and in yet others, only the initial forays into minimally invasive surgery have been undertaken. This book sets out to collate the current body of knowledge on laparoscopic urology under one cover. The authors are respected experts in the field and have provided concise, thoughtful updates on their respective topics. The information contained in this volume will help urologists to increase their laparoscopic knowledge and skills.

Prostate Cancer
Methods and Protocols

pagine: 403
Prostate cancer is the second leading cancer in men in Western society. A major concern, and an area of intensive research, involves understanding why certain prostate cancers remain localized or indolent, whereas others become aggressive and metastasize. The differences between these cancer types have profound implications for patients and physicians. Indolent d- ease, which grows very slowly, generally does not cause any problems to the patient, whereas aggressive disease requires immediate treatment, the earlier the better. At present, there are no markers that discriminate between these two entities, thus causing a dilemma for the management of patients who have recently been diagnosed. The aim of Prostate Cancer Methods and Protocols is to explore cutting-edge molecular methods that may have the potential to reveal markers of disease for use in more accurate diagnoses of prostate c- cer and, consequently, to lead to new treatment strategies.
This book provides a comprehensive collection of both in vitro and in vivo step-by-step protocols currently used by leaders in prostate cancer research, advice on approaches that can be used in the study of prostate cancer, as well as reviews covering areas less amenable to laboratory research, such as environmental factors in prostate cancer, to provide the reader with an overview of the prostate cancer research field as it currently stands.
Disorders of the Prostate
Fouad K. Habib , M. Briley
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 185
Recent years have witnessed major advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer at both the molecular and cellular levels. These developments were based essentially on fundamental research which as yet has not be substantially translated into clinical practice. In parallel, however, important breakthroughs have also been made in the development of new treatments with significant implications for the management of these diseases. The Prostate: New Developments and Concepts brings together experts and specialists in the field to review the advances underlying the mechanisms of proliferation and metastasis at the molecular level and chart the future for more effective modalities in the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate disease.
An Atlas of Uro-Oncology
Roger S. Kirby
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 96
With the wealth of information and treatment options available, decisions about the management of uro-oncological diseases are not always straightforward. An Atlas of Uro-oncology gives you a snapshot of the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases that allows you to quickly grasp the big picture. The book focuses on the most commonly encountered tumors of the prostate, kidney, bladder, testes, and penis. The author begins with a thorough review of the molecular basis of urological cancer, including cell adhesion molecules, the caspase apoptosis pathway, angiogenesis, and signal transduction. He goes on to cover treatment options, surgical techniques, and the management of advanced disease. Color photographs and "decision trees" for all the common uro-oncological diseases facilitate your decision-making process. Almost everyday uro-oncologists must choose between a variety of investigation and treatment strategies. But who has the time to plough through a two- or three-volume textbook of uro-oncology? Now you don't have to. An Atlas of Uro-oncology distills the essence of a vast subject and provides the tools you need to make the best decision possible.

editore: Humana Press Inc.
pagine: 552
Leading cancer biologists and clinical researchers comprehensively review the latest basic research and its translational significance for the molecular biology and genetics of prostate cancer and its application in developing novel therapeutics. Highlights of recent molecular genetics research include new light on inactivated tumor suppressor genes, HPC families, the role of the androgen receptor, the progression of prostate cancer, and promising results from transcriptome profiling and proteomics. Research into the basic biology and regulatory mechanisms controlling prostate cancer growth and progression has revealed many new possibilities for therapeutic intervention, including cell adhesion molecules, the androgen receptor, use of the nuclear matrix, Caveolin-1, and the prostate-specific membrane antigen. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Prostate Cancer: Biology, Genetics, and the New Therapeutics synthesizes all the major recent work that is not only rapidly unraveling the mysteries of prostate cancer, but also dramatically improving today's therapeutic approaches.
