Active Surveillance for Localized Prostate Cancer: A New Paradigm for Clinical Management (Current Clinical Urology) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

“The concept of active surveillance (AS) was developed by Klotz, with the aim of limiting the risk of overtreatment in patients with low-risk cancers, while providing timely radical treatment for those requiring it. Currently, this concept is supported by an increasing number of urologists. ... This excellent overview dedicated to AS fills a lack in the literature. ... this textbook can be recommended to all physicians involved in prostate cancer management.” (European Urology Today, Vol. 25 (2), March-May, 2013)

“This book summarizes the current worldwide experience with active surveillance for prostate cancer. ... this book is appropriate for primary care physicians, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Furthermore, it would be valuable to the general audience and patients as it clearly describes the role and implications of active surveillance in the treatment of prostate cancer. ... I strongly recommend this book to any clinician whose practice involves the treatment of patients with prostate cancer in any capacity.” (Sanjay Kasturi, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2012)
