Korean Prostate Society (compiler): Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer ranks second among cancers in men worldwide, and in the United States, it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, following lung cancer. The writing team, comprised of prostate cancer experts from the Korean Prostate Society, aimed to incorporate the latest knowledge by comprehensively covering epidemiology, basic medical science, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In particular, regarding treatment, unlike existing foreign textbooks, the section on treatment is structured to allow readers to easily find the information they need. It provides detailed explanations not only for treatments based on the stage of progression—such as local, locally advanced, metastatic, and castration-resistant prostate cancer—but also for treatment methods like surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy through separate chapters. By covering general topics while also including the latest, in-depth, specialized content in certain areas, this book will serve as an excellent guide for both general urologists and subspecialists.
