Interventional Techniques in Uro-oncology is thefirst text to cover these techniques in total and provides acomprehensive review of the state-of-the-art minimally invasiveinterventions.

This well-illustrated reference provides the basic sciencebehind each technique before explaining when and how best toperform them. It examines their use in different clinical settings,the advantages and disadvantages of each technique in themanagement of specific tumor types, and their suitability fordifferent patients. Future techniques are discussed including thepotential of nanotechnology in the delivery of urologic healthcare.Each chapter is easy to navigate with key points andreferences.
