Reviews

“This is the second edition of a practical review and guide to the unique issues facing older patients with urologic issues. The authors successfully summarize the most common urologic issues facing the older population. … an excellent resource for students, residents, fellows, primary care providers, and urologists who care for older adults. It is a compact, concise reference to help providers care for older patients facing common urologic issues, as well as a deeper dive into decision-making around urologic cancers.” (Susan Parks, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
