Beskrivning

In this volume, the roles of adjuvant radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy and complete androgen suppression for metastatic prostate cnacer are reviewed, as well as the preliminary experiences with suramin and the implications of combining tumour necrosis factor and chemotherapeutic drugs. The use of bladder substitution with intestinal segments has enhanced the quality of life following pelvic exerterative surgery; the development of carcinoma in these intestinal bladders is discussed. "Therapy for Genitourinary Cancer" reflects the commitment of clinicians and basic scientists to enhance the effectiveness of therapy for genitourinary malignancies. It is hoped that the innovative approaches to treatment presented in this volume will gain clinical acceptance and improve the ability to cure these tumours.
