This volume features important topics in current uro-oncological research that are also of great clinical interest to urologists, oncologists and all clinicians and researchers working in the field of urological neoplasms. The contributions, authored by researchers from internationally renowned urological centers, focus on prostate cancer, bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. They not only provide interesting epidemiological data for each cancer type but also demonstrate the application of recent oncological techniques to urological problems. Thoroughly referenced and offering valuable insights into a broad spectrum of topical issues, the volume is a useful addition to the literature in the now well-established subspecialty of urological oncology.
