"Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer of American men and the eighth most common cancer of American women, with sixty thousand new cases of the disease diagnosed each year in the US alone. Disease prevalence is high in western nations due to the predominance of the chronic relapsing form of cancer that occurs in these countries (USA prevalence estimated to be 600,000; NCI-SEER database), and this single fact makes bladder cancer one of the most expensive cancers to treat. The ""Textbook of Bladder Cancer"" is a comprehensive reference drawing on the expertise of an international community of experts in the area. All aspects of disease biology, diagnosis and treatment are addressed. Appropriate for scholars and students of medicine at all levels, it promises to become a key text in the field."

Reviews for Textbook of Bladder Cancer

"""a comprehensive reference which draws on the expertise of an international community of prominent bladder cancer experts. Fully illustrated, the textbook includes chapters on both scientific and clinical principles, emphasising pathogenesis, detection and experimental therapeutics. [...] This textbook is a welcome addition to the growing literature that reports on the major advances in bladder cancer research. [...] Recommended reading for students, scholars, physicians, scientists and health professionals, this book promises to become a key text on bladder cancer. To urologists who are certified or are still in training, this textbook can serve as an excellent reference tool."" Prof Paul Meria, European Urology Today, October 2007 ""With its breadth and depth of coverage, this book will probably become an important reference for the treatment of bladder cancer in the coming years. Although mainly addressed to urologists, the book contains information important to all involved in the management of bladder cancer. Radiation oncologists involved in the interdisciplinary management of bladder cancer patients will find this volume helpful, as well as those seeking information on surgical topics and the urologist's point of view."" Juergen Dunst, International Journal of Radiation Oncology * Biology * Physics, No1: 2006"
