Immer mehr Urologen und Onkologen entscheiden sich beim Management urologischer Krebserkrankungen für den Erhalt und nicht die Entfernung des betroffenen Gewebes. Dieses Fachbuch erläutert alle verfügbaren Optionen und zeigt das bestmögliche Patientenmanagement. Herausgeber Mark Schoenberg ist ein international anerkannter Experte auf diesem neuen, aufregenden Gebiet und hat ein herausragendes Team zusammengestellt, zu dem einige der führenden Urologen und Onkologen aus Nordamerika und Europa gehören.
