Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This comprehensive approach to the evaluation and management of elderly urological oncology patients should appeal to all practitioners involved in the care of these patients … . it should be required reading for students, residents, and fellows interested in the care of these patients. … This book should be an important part of the library of all clinicians involved in the evaluation and management of elderly patients with urological cancer. It is comprehensive, well written, and easy to read with appropriate illustrations and excellent references.” (Andrew Edward Chapman, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2012)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The risk of cancer increases with age and the number of older adults seeking treatment is rising dramatically in line with the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that of younger adults because of variation in the biology of the tumor, age-related variation in host physiology, co-morbidity burden and psychosocial issues, which might impact the efficacy and side effects of cancer therapy.
Management of Urological Cancers in Older People focuses on treatment strategies of urological cancers and provides guidance on the issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the care of older people, therapeutics, and psychosocial considerations. This book offers a thorough review of current approaches to treating older urological cancer patients, detailing the special issues and considerations involved. The discipline-spanning coverage outlines best practice and proposes topics for future research.
This first volume in the Management of Cancer in Older People series will be of interest to all surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, gerontologists, urologists and other members of the multidisciplinary team involved  in the care of elderly urological cancer patients.
