Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Ex. - Textbook of Penile Cancer reports accurately on recent developments in the management of penile cancer/whilst also covering the fundamentals of the disease, to provide a comprehensive, standalone and up-to-date volume on the subject. The surgical management of penile cancer is shifting towards increasingly refined methods, as it is believed that a proportion of patients undergo overtreatment for the disease. Where traditionally the management of penile cancer has involved partial or total penectomy combined with radical inguinal lymphadenectomy, over the last few years the treatment involves conservative penile reconstructive surgery such that sexual function and phallic length is preserved. Furthermore, the increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy rather than radical inguinal lymphadenectomy prevents the unnecessary removal of lymph nodes in patients where lymph node metastases has not occurred. There is also likely to be a change in the role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for advanced disease. Textbook of Penile Cancer covers the epidemiology, molecular biology, radiological imaging, as well as the latest surgical advances in the treatment of this disease. // Epidemiology and Etiology of Penile Cancer -- Maaike C G Bleeker, Danielle A M Heideman, Peter J F Snijders, Simon Horenblas, and Chris J L M Meijer -- Molecular Biology of Penile Cancer -- Danielle A M Heideman, Maaike C G Bleeker, Hashim Uddin Ahmed, Manit Arya, Simon Horenblas, Peter J F Snijders, and Chris J L M Meijer -- Diagnosis and Pathology of Penile Cancer -- Alcides Chaux and Antonio L Cubilla -- Radiological Imaging in Penile Cancer -- Alex P S Kirkham -- Premalignant Lesions of the Penis -- Majid Shabbir, Nicholas A Watkin, and Asif Muneer -- Management of Penile Cancer Using -- Penile-Preserving Techniques -- Paul Hadway, Peter R Malone, Suks Minhas, and Asif Muneer -- Management of Locally Advanced -- and Metastatic Penile Cancer -- Asif Muneer, Afshin Mosahebi, Vijay Sangar, and Suks Minhas -- Cancer of the Male Urethra -- Raj Nigam, Usama Ahmed, Alex Freeman, Suks Minhas, and Asif Muneer -- Management of Lymph Nodes -- Niels M Graafland and Simon Horenblas -- Prognostic Indicators in Penile Cancer -- Vincenzo Ficarra, Giacomo Novara, Guido Martignoni, and Filiberto Zattoni Phallic Reconstruction Following -- Surgery for Penile Cancer -- David J Ralph -- The Role of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy -- in the Treatment of Penile Cancer -- Jan M Kerst, Luc M F Moonen, Niels M Graafland, Andries M Bergman, Floris J Pos, and Simon Horenblas -- Nanotechnology and the Implications for Penile Cancer -- Ammar Hameed, Iqbal S Shergill, and Manit Arya -- Follow-Up of Patients with Penile Cancer -- Niels M Graafland and Simon Horenblas -- Living with Penile Cancer: Effects on -- Psychology and Quality of Life -- Ian Eardley and Victor Palit -- Future Directions in Penile Cancer -- Paul K Hegarty and Curtis A Pettaway.
