Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This volume in the Current Clinical Urology series focuses on the management of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), providing an important reference for medical oncologists, urologists, and radiation oncologists. The authors successfully update the biology and clinical aspects of CRPC management. … This book sets out the most current knowledge about the management of CRPC, a fascinating area in clinical urology. It should be part of the library of any clinician or basic scientist dealing with prostate cancer.” (Jianqing Lin, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2014)Editors and Affiliations
