This book titled Atlas of Clinical Oncology provides a great deal more than a pictorial representation of prostate cancer. The text covers all aspects of the condition ranging from epidemiology to basic science and active therapies, but also covers areas that are less often addressed in many apparently comprehensive texts. The issues of palliative care, the management of complications of various therapies, as well as novel and complimentary approaches ensures that a holistic and comprehensive overview of the condition is achieved. This is a refreshing approach and is well supported by the pertinent evidence from the published iterative. The chapters on operative treatment are particularly well covered and well supported by high quality diagrams and photographs. Accompanying the text is a CD ROM containing the complete text and illustrations of the book providing a useful flexibility for both teaching and private study. I would thoroughly recommend this book for a place in any urology department and on the bookshelf of any clinician involved in the management of prostate cancer.
