Description
B.C. Decker Urothelial Tumors (Acs Atlas Of Clinical Oncology) by Droller
Urothelial Tumors covers both urothelial tumors of the urinary bladder and of the upper tracts. This full colour atlas focuses on advances in understanding the epidemiology and carcinogenesis in urothelial cancer and the pathogenesis of different forms of urothelial cancer. The text examines the new means of diagnosing and characterizing the prognosis of the various types of urothelial cancer, and the new approaches to treatment of the different types of urothelial cancer in comparison to what has been standard for the urinary bladder and the upper tracts. The contributors provide a critical assessment of current knowledge and understanding in their particular area of expertise and present recent advances that have expanded their area and could lead to further future investigations. This latest volume in the American Cancer Society's Atlas of Clinical Oncology series is designed to give the clinician or laboratory investigator both an overview and an in-depth understanding of the cancer process in the context of urothelial cancer. It is also intended to provide an atlas-like compendium of current information on the various areas addressed. 1. Demographics and Epidemiology of Urothelial Cancer of the Urinary Bladder 2.
