The Urogenital Cancers: An Interdisciplinary Approach is the sixteenth volume of the Interdisciplinary Cancer Research series, publishes comprehensive volume on diagnosis and treatment of urogenital cancers. The volume starts with a general chapter on interdisciplinary approach in genitourinary cancers. After discussion on upper tract urothelial carcinoma, bladder cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, immunobiology of testicular cancer is explained. The subsequent chapters are focused on prostate cancer. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for urologists, nephrologists, and oncologists who wish to have an update on diagnosis and treatment of urogenital cancers.

Describes interdisciplinary approaches on urogenital tumors Includes a comprehensive coverage of urothelial carcinoma, bladder cancer, and renal cell carcinoma Contains updated reviews on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment
