Prostate cancer continues to be a major threat to men's health, thesecond most common cancer in men, in many countries. Therefore itis increasingly important that those faced with difficult clinicalquestions make the right decisions. Since the first volume waspublished in 2000, many debates persist but new controversies havealso emerged, reflected in the chapters of this new volume. Newauthors have been recruited to give their insight into newer areasof this controversial topic. Challenges in prostate cancer provides a series ofstate-of-the-art review articles, each of which addresses andanswers a contentious question. It includes chapters on medical andsurgical management of all stages of prostate cancer, clinicalinvestigation, epidemiology, clinical trials and basic scientificresearch and covers issues such as the genetic basis of cancer,clinical economics and influence. The authors have used their expertise to distil the availableevidence into practical advice to be used by busy urologists intheir day-to-day practice. And as well as being an overview ofcurrent practice many chapters attempt to give insights into thefuture direction of prostate cancer research and clinicalmanagement.

"Currently there are more questions than answers in prostate cancerand the authors certainly could not have been expected to provideall the solutions for these many difficult issues. They have setout the problems clearly, however, and by doing so set a challengefor all of us in the urological community to provide the evidencebased resolution to these many thorny issues by carefullyconstructed, long-term randomised files." British Journal of Urology "...contains useful information and is a helpful resource forunderstanding many of the controversies in this area." The Lancet
