DESCRIPTION

Advanced and metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) represents a significant health-care issue with a substantial impact on economic resources and patients quality of life. Advanced PCa management also involves several medical specialties including general practioners, urologists, oncologist, radiotheraphist, radiologist, nuclear medicine physician. A muldisci¬plinary approach is particularly required to improve and implement an adequate diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for these patients. This book contains es¬sential information, presented by a group of experts in this sector, on how to better investigate and manage advanced and metastatic PCa. Standard and new pharmacological therapies are discussed as well as the possible role of surgery or radiotherapy in metastatic pa-tients. A practical pharmacological approach is discussed with a particular interest on castration resistant PCa and hormone naïve metastatic PCa management.
