Urological oncology is a subject of enormous interest to large numbers of uro- gists throughout the world, particularly with our increasing understanding of the possible causes and pathogenesis of the condition. As Editor-in-Chief of one of the urological journals, I can attest to this interest; the largest percentage of the papers I receive for review each year relate to either clinical or experime- tal urological oncology. It used to be that the manuscripts concerned mainly surgical techniques, but now this has extended to new technologies, dia- nostic methods, randomized pharmaceutical clinical trials, and thoughtful and complex experimental studies into the genesis of urological cancer. This is all evidence of our increasing interest in the topic. In addition to this, we have come to understand the management of urolo- cal cancer is not in the hands of a single discipline. The advent of multidis- plinary team meetings has made us realize that there is a hugely signi? cant role to be played by urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, patho- gists, and radiologists. This new dimension has been driven by the advent of new therapies and by closer interaction among all of these groups at academic meetings. This is to be applauded and has inevitably lead to improvements in the management of our patients.

From the reviews:

"...As a urologic oncologist, I test-drove this book for over a month, and I was thoroughly impressed with how practical, comprehensive, and timely it is. I was equally impressed with how appropriate the material is for clinicians at all stages of their careers, regardless of their subspecialties. This book may be a useful reference for anyone who frequently deals with patients with urologic cancer." (W.C. Huang, New England Journal of Medicine, June 2008)

"This collaborative and comprehensive book focuses on understanding the basic science relevant to clinical problems in a multidisciplinary approach to urological malignancies. … Primarily aimed at urology residents, specialists in urology, oncology, and urologic oncology, the book will likely prove most beneficial to residents, fellows, and junior faculty in urologic oncology to help them understand principles of therapy … . This book is engaging, well organized, and concise … . an outstanding resource for oncologists in training, particularly those in urologic oncology fellowships." (Norm D. Smith, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)
