This book addresses the most pressing current questions in the management of urologic malignancies. Placing the rapid advances in imaging and molecular markers into a clinical context, it explains their effects on prognosis and treatment planning. Similarly, it carefully examines advances in immunotherapy, focusing in particular on the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in both early- and late-stage urologic malignancies. Looking beyond the improvements in minimally invasive techniques for urologic cancers, it reviews the impacts of care coordination pathways and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. Futher, the book includes an enlightening discussion of the decision algorithm for the treatment of early-stage, high-grade bladder cancer, taking into account evidence on the most advanced treatment options and the circumstances in which surgery may need to be expedited. The final two chapters are devoted to testicular cancer: the first discusses recent advances in prognostication, while the second elucidates contemporary medical and surgical management.
