Abstract: This comprehensive and easy-to-read monograph is an authoritative update on clinical prostate cancer. It has been prepared by an international, multidisciplinary team at the invitation of the International Prostate Health Council think tank. The management of prostate cancer a" the most prevalent type of cancer in men in the Western world a" has been revolutionized by the vastly increased knowledge and new fact-finding research on its natural (treated) history, the new concepts on diagnosis and prognosis, and a broad range of valid, competing treatment options. A particular strength
