Section I provides a review of fundamental issues including epidemiology, screening and risk reduction, diagnosis and pathologic characterization, staging, and imaging. There is also a chapter on counseling of the high-risk patient. Section II, Treatment of Localized Disease, provides a thorough review of the range of multidisciplinary management options for these patients including a discussion of quality of life impact. Section III, Treatment of Localized Advanced Disease, provides a detailed review of multimodal (medical, surgical, radiologic) therapies. Section IV, Treatment of Advanced Disease, reviews management courses for metastatic disease including the range of novel and experimental agents likely to have major impact on practice. Throughout the volume the emphasis is on multidisciplinary collaboration and decision-making in the management of the prostate cancer patient.
