A large number of experts (226 authors) have contributed to this textbook.The first section of the book features the basic principles of medical biology techniques, the biology of metastases in renal cell cancer, the clinical decision-making in genito-urinary oncology, and the radiology imaging of genito-urinary neoplasms. Other chapters cover the principles of retroperitoneal and pelvic surgery, the application of endoscopic surgery for genito-urinary cancer, the technical innovation and the biological basis for three-dimensional conformai radiotherapy and the principles of chemotherapy for genito-urinary cancer. New studies of systemic therapy and gene therapy of genitourinary cancer, palliative care and advances in symptom management, orthopedic management of metastases, and statistical consideration for the use of literature in health systems research, the organization of support services and the cost of treatment, are valuable and informative additional chapters in this important section. The remaining 11 sections with numerous chapters cover the most important clinical aspects of bladder cancer, prostate cancer, testis cancer, renal cancer, cancer of the penis, adrenal cancer, gento-urinary sarcomas, pediatric sarcomas, soft tissue sarcomas, neuroblastoma and Wilm's tumor/nephroblastoma. All these chapters offer the reader important aspects of anatomy, pathology, clinical presentation, the molecular biology, the immunology, diagnosis and management of early and advanced genitourinary neoplasms. This textbook is an important source of information for practising urologists, residents in urology, oncologists, pathologists, immunologists and practically any physician involved in the management of genitourinary cancer. It is comprehensive in its scope, well-referenced with in-depth valuable clinical information on the various aspects of each genito-urinary cancer, including pediatric neoplasms. The various chapters on molecular biology, molecular genetics and carcinogenesis provide an excellent review of the latest advances in these fields. The first chapter on the principles of molecular biology techniques as diagnostic markers in prostate and bladder cancer is rich in basic information, but somewhat short with regard to the modern clinical implications and applications. This new embryonic field, which is growing rapidly, makes it difficult to update the recent developments in such a textbook. The chapter on the biology of metastases with respect to renal cell cancer carries the reader to the depths of the recent theories regarding the development of metastases. The chapter on urologic imaging of genito-urinary neoplasms is rather elementary and superficial, and could have been extended to include some new developments such as Spect MRI and angiographic spiral CT scans in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder and renal cancers. The “Innovations and the Biologic Basis for Three-Dimensional Conformai Therapy” represents a novel approach for the management of prostatic carcinoma, which is well written and amply illustrated. It should be of great benefit for urologists to comprehend this new technique. The various chapters on chemotherapy, surgical principles, gene therapy, and palliative treatment offer an in-depth and comprehensive review of the most recent advances in these fields. Valuable information is obtained in the chapters on the management of stage (C) T3 and stage D1 prostate cancer. The controversial aspects of such treatment are well illustrated. Although the chapters dealing with surgical management of genito-urinary neoplasms are short of illustrations, this could be explained by the fact that this textbook does not represent an atlas of genito-urinary surgery.Principles and Practice of Genito-Urinary Oncology is an ambitious undertaking which has been extremely successful in providing the reader with a most comprehensive review of the molecular, biologic, cytogenetic and clinical aspects of genito-urinary neoplasms. This excellent book, written by prominent experts in this field, should be considered as a reference book for the understanding, diagnosis and management of genito-urinary neoplasms. The authors have certainly succeeded in providing the urologists with one of the most comprehensive books on genito-urinary cancers. It represents an important source of information which would be of great help in the clinical management of genitourinary neoplasms.

Diagnostic imaging in nephrology and urology

The improvement in non invasive imaging i.e. real time ultrasound and nuclear medicine has altered imaging of the renal tract for both infants and children. The cornerstone of radiology, the intravenous urogram (IVU/IVP) has given way to abdominal ultrasound examination (US). Functional assessment is undertaken by radionuclides rather than IVU, the dynamic renogram to assess differential function and drainage and the static Tc99m Dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc99m DMSA) scan to assess renal parenchyma. The role of the IVU is to answer specific questions. The micturating cystourethrogram (MCU) remains crucial, especially in the male, however radionuclide cystography has an important role in vesico ureteric reflux (VUR). The use of computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography, and antegrade studies are limited and specific indications for each examination are becoming clearer. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses, these must be constantly borne in mind.

A Robotic System for Minimal Access Surgery

A computerized manipulator-assisted method is presented to facilitate the execution of minimal access surgical procedures. The proposed method employs a passive manipulator to assist the surgeon in the three-dimensional spatial location of anatomical features, using general purpose X-ray fluoroscopy or ultrasound imaging equipment with video input/output facilities. The method enables the three-dimensional navigation of surgical tools in correlation with two-dimensional medical images. A system is under development at Imperial College, London, for the application of this method to minimally invasive renal procedures. The system will enable the spatial location of renal calculi and the establishment of percutaneous renal track central axes. The proposed method is compatible with existing urological procedures and imaging equipment and enables the correlation of X-ray and ultrasound imaging modalities.

Urologic imaging in the pediatric patient

The development of newer imaging modalities and the expanded use of older techniques have substantially improved the care of the pediatric patient. In this article, we review the roles of sonography, voiding cystourethrography, excretory urography, and nuclear medicine studies in the evaluation of the most common pediatric urologic disorders, including urinary tract infection, obstructive and nonobstructive hydronephrosis, and vesicoureteral reflux. Recently developed techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and color Doppler sonography are also discussed with respect to their use in evaluating upper-urinary-tract obstruction as well as the undescended testicle and testicular torsion. Areas of controversy are identified and rationales for current radiographic evaluation of these disorders are reviewed.

Clinical Urography: An Atlas and Textbook of Urological Imaging

This book is a welcome addition to the current radiology literature. It offers extensive coverage of modern urological radiology, a subject that until now has had only limited and incomplete reference texts. Clinical Urographyis a three-volume set with 197 contributors. A large number are members of the Society of Uroradiology and are recognized authorities in their specialty areas. In addition, the editor has indicated that the entire work of over 3000 pages was reviewed by six prominent urologists to ensure that the content was clinically relevant and accurate. The three volumes are divided into eight distinct parts, each of which covers a major category of related subjects. Each major area is then subdivided into sections on a specific topic. Most of these sections contain an in-depth review of the subject material, and some even include descriptions of the embryology and anatomy as preliminary to understanding how and why a

Nuclear cystography and renal sonography: findings in girls with urinary tract infection.

This retrospective study documents the findings on nuclear cystography and renal sonography of 455 girls who had urologic imaging for a proved urinary tract infection (UTI). Nuclear cystograms were normal in 313 (69%) of 455 patients. Vesicoureteral reflux was seen in 142 patients (31%): six with grade I, 90 with grade II, 43 with grade III, and three with grade IV. Twelve percent of patients with vesicoureteral reflux had renal parenchymal scars. Increasing grades of reflux were associated with an increase in the severity and number of parenchymal scars. Normal renal sonograms were seen in 83% of patients. Abnormalities noted on sonograms included parenchymal scarring in 31 (7%) of the 455 patients, anomalies in 19 patients (4%), mild to moderate dilatation of the renal pelvis and or ureters in 45 patients (10%), and bladder wall thickening in 45 patients (10%).

Octoson imaging in pediatric urology

Ultrasonic imaging of infants and children using an automated transducer water-path delay scanning system (Octoson) overcomes many of the technical difficulties of contact B mode ultrasound imaging and computed tomography. These disadvantages relate to small patient size, motion artifacts, hypothermia, and lack of patient cooperation. Sedation may be required for either conventional study. The automated water-path system is soothing to small children, maintains the body temperature of infants, and avoids direct transducer contact. Sedation is not necessary. Excellent resolution, shorter scan time than computed tomography, and greater flexibility of patient and transducer positioning allows much more complete imaging information. In addition, the panoramic view obtained using this modality serves to demonstrate the complete lesion and its relationship to surrounding structures.

Urologic imaging and correlation with serum laboratory determinations in staging gynecologic malignancies.

The records of 526 patients with gynecologic malignancies were reviewed to determine the correlation of urologic imaging modalities with serum renal function studies in detecting ureteral obstruction at the time of initial staging. Three hundred and forty-three of these patients had excretory urograms and 305 patients had concurrent serum urea nitrogen and creatinine determinations and 261 patients had concurrent radionuclide bone scans. Twenty-six patients had concurrent sonograms. Hydronephrosis (either unilateral or bilateral) was demonstrated at urography in 11% of patients with carcinoma of the cervix and ovary, but in only two percent of patients with carcinoma of the endometrium (the latter probably due to anatomic differences and an earlier stage of disease at the time of presentation). Serum urea nitrogen and creatinine determinations were abnormal in only 30% of the patients with urinary obstruction. Although only a small proportion of patients with hydronephrosis had bone scans and sonography, these appeared to be sensitive methods of detecting obstructions, but were more expensive than urography.

Nuclear Imaging in Urology

Over the past 10 years nuclear renal imaging has proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool. The information derived from such studies must be correlated with all other imaging procedures now available, i.e., ultrasound and computed tomography. Prior to performing a study, the physician should focus carefully on what information is desired and whether or not it can be acquired. Once that is done, the use of these procedures in urology is extremely helpful and their aid in a given instance is limited only by the creative mind of the physicianuser.
