Summary:

Treating solid organ cancers rely on accurate visualizing, biopsy sampling, and delivery of therapy targeted to the area which requires it. Ahmed (surgery and interventional science, U. College London) and other UK and US specialists argue for a paradigm change to treat often multifocal prostate cancer in this way. International contributors discuss the role for focal therapy in maximizing survival while minimizing morbidity; focal therapy and minimally-invasive therapies instead of radical prostatectomy to achieve that balance; considerations in conservative management; new trends in imaging and treatment options (e.g., the latest cryoablation techniques, photodynamic therapy for focal ablation); factors that affect patients' choice of treatments; and assessment of treatment efficacy. The volume includes scan images and color plates. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
