This book encompasses an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art for prostate gland preserving therapies. It provides insight into the latest research and clinical applications of image-guided diagnosis and minimally invasive focal, gland-preserving treatment for prostate cancer. Fully updated and revised, this text evaluates the scientific evidence for the evolving trend to treat intermediate risk, clinically localized prostate cancer in a focally ablative manner with novel gland-preserving, image-targeted therapy methods. Imaging and Focal Therapy of Early Prostate Cancer, Third Edition opens with a discussion of why patients and clinicians should consider focal therapy, then moves on to consider the question of active surveillance versus focal therapy from a global perspective, with chapters on North American, European, Southeast Asian, and South American perspectives. From there, chapters cover the scientific foundation of focal therapy, current and new approaches to image cancer foci within the prostate (multiparametric ultrasonography, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, etc.) and various biopsy techniques. Following this is detailed coverage of patient selection, treatment strategy, adjuvants to enhance therapy, outcomes, and patient centered interests, followed by a discussion of the strengths and limitations of various therapeutic modalities, such as cryotherapy, high intensity focused ultrasound, and photodynamic therapy, follows. The final sections of the book cover the assessment of focal therapy outcomes and look forward to the future of focal therapy for prostate cancer. Written by experts in the field and lavishly illustrated with detailed line-art and photographs, this text is designed as a comprehensive resource for urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, uropathologists, molecular biologists, biomedical engineers, residents, fellows, nurses and allied professionals, and researchers with an interest in the diagnosis and novel targeted treatment of prostate cancer.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Imaging and Focal Therapy of Early Prostate Cancer evaluates the scientific evidence for the evolving trend to treat low to intermediate risk, clinically localized prostate cancer in a focally ablative manner with novel gland-preserving, focal therapy methods. Various ablative devices such as high intensity focused ultrasound, irreversible electroporation, photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy and laser ablation, among others, are discussed in regard to their strengths and limitations as a therapeutic modality. Emphasis is placed on tumor stage shift towards early stage disease with an increase in unilateral versus bilateral cancers validated by final pathology assessment of large prostatectomy series. Current and new approaches to image cancer foci within the prostate (3-Dimensional contrast-enhanced transrectal ultrasonography, multiparametric magnetic resonance image with spectroscopy, ETC) are presented along with biopsy techniques to map prostate cancer. Patient selection, treatment strategy, outcomes and safety concerns that may provide acceptable cancer control and improved quality of life for patients are all covered in detail. Written by experts in the field and lavishly illustrated with detailed line-art and photographs, Imaging and Focal Therapy of Early Prostate Cancer is a resourceful volume beneficial to practitioners specializing in the treatment and management of prostate cancer.
