This comprehensive reference expounds the current state of hormone therapy and castration resistance of prostate cancer (PCa). Previously, the incidence of PCa in Asian countries was relatively low, but it has been increasing dramatically in recent years. Although most of the new cases are diagnosed in early stages, a significant proportion of patients receive hormone therapy for metastatic disease or for relapse after local treatment. Thus the situation has gradually changed toward earlier and longer use of hormone therapy. The malignancy finally forms castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) despite the lack of testicular androgen. With advances in understanding of the molecular basis of hormone dependence and CRPC, many new androgen receptor-targeted agents have emerged.

During the last decade, much evidence on hormone therapy has been accumulated in Japan. Interestingly, some of these findings are different from those reported from Western countries, suggesting ethnic variation in the outcome of hormone therapy. In the chapters of this book, expert authors provide exhaustive interpretations of the evidence recently reported from Japan and provide important Asian perspectives on hormone therapy for PCa. This work benefits not only Asian urologists but also their Western counterparts and all physicians and medical personnel who are involved in the treatment of PCa.

Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: A Step-by-Step Guide 1st ed

April 10, 2018

[amazon_link asins=’9811028478′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’92e552f3-3cf0-11e8-8113-071b8a7696bd’]

This book explains the development of various laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) techniques, which can be performed via the retroperitoneal or the transperitoneal approach. It provides a step-by-step explanation of LDN, including details of intricacies such as port positioning, dissection steps, securing the hilum and retrieval. It also reviews new techniques like robotic donor nephrectomy and single-port donor nephrectomy. Lastly, it explores the non-technical but equally important issues of donor work-up and legal and social aspects.

LDN is a unique surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates on an individual who is not a patient but someone donating out of altruistic motives, and it has to be “zero error” for the safety of the graft, donor and the recipient. This handbook is a valuable resource for urologists, general and transplant surgeons as well as anesthesiologists and medical social workers working in the fiel

“Editors John and Wiklund … prepared Robotic Urology with the interested urologist in mind and begin with an informative overview of the past, present, and future of robotic surgery. … recommended as excellent introductory texts for readers interested in the rapidly expanding field of robotic surgery in urology. … Robotic Urology … will appeal especially to those surgeons with a specific interest in pursuing robotic intervention for prostate cancer.” (Philip H. Kim and Chester J. Koh, Journal of the American Medical Association, February, 2009)

“Recent advances in urology aimed to reduce the invasiveness of surgical procedures for the patient. Laparoscopy was an important first step followed by robotics, which represents an obvious progress in this approach. … Most chapters are richly illustrated with figures and colour photographs. … We can recommend it to all urologists who are looking for a basic and compact overview on robotic urology. Experienced surgeons will also find valuable information in this book that may help improve their practice.” (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, April/May, 2009)

–This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

This updated edition offers guidance on the application of robotic surgery in urology. Each technique is described in detail, with careful explanation of the different surgical steps.

The book brings together leading robotic surgeons from around the world and utilises their knowledge once again to update and provide a manual that covers all the oncologic and reconstructive procedures in urologic surgery that are performed with robotic assistance.

Significant characteristics are also documented by representative high-quality illustrations, with emphasis on those aspects of most relevance to differential diagnosis. In addition, prognostic features are fully covered. Urological Pathology: Rare Tumors and Tumor-Like Conditions will be ideal source of core information and practical guidance for residents, fellows, pathologists, urologists, and oncologists.
