About this book
Renal Cell Cancer: Diagnosis and Therapy covers diagnostics, cancer research, molecular biology, immunology and clinical management. It provides an overview of new information in epidemiology, molecular and immunologic characteristics, and surgical therapy.
The state-of-the-art reference work covering renal cell cancer in its full extent currently on the market, it presents every aspect on the topic, new data and techniques, with a special focus on the latest diagnostic tests, genetic counselling, surgery - including laparoscopy and minimally invasive therapies. Special topics are included, such as advanced disease, special situations, pain management, palliative care and follow-up. A significant part of the book deals with immunotherapy and the exciting new developments in molecular targeted therapy, including angiogenesis inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors, for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Renal Cell Cancer: Diagnosis and Therapy is the reference work of choice on this topic for urologists and oncologists.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Renal-Cell Carcinoma, a Malignant Tumor that is associated with a poor prognosis, is difficult to diagnose in its early stages and difficult to treat successfully. This book provides an overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of this type of tumor. … They aim the book primarily at urologists and urologic oncologists … . The accompanying radiographic figures vividly clarify the role that medical imaging plays in diagnosis and staging." (Robert J. Motzer, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 360 (18), April, 2009)
