Handbook of Urologic Cryoablation
As prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in men, the  
clinical and surgical commitments to treating it are enormous, as well  
as to be expected given the aging male population. Urologic cryotherapy
is one such method for those with organ-confined or minimally-spread  
prostate cancer. The benefits it offers both patient and surgeon are  
hugely significant: it is minimally invasive, has a favourable success  
rate and complication rates, is followed by a short period of  
recuperation, is repeatable if necessary, and costs considerably less  
than a radical prostatectomy. Presenting their adroit surgical and  
extensive teaching experience with urologic cryoablation in the  
treatment of renal and prostate cancers, Drs. Daniel Ruskstalis and  
Aaron Katz, along with a superb team of U.S. contributors, share their  
mastery of this revolutionary technique with the reader, whether  
qualified or in-training. An important, accessible guide to a  
ground-breaking advance in the treatment of prostate cancer, Handbook of
 Urologic Cryoablation is requisite reading for those urologic surgeons
 wishing to perform cryoablation effectively and efficiently for the  
patient's benefit.
