The Department of Continuing Education of Harvard Medical School and members of the faculty of Harvard Medical School held a multidisciplinary course on the management of patients with urologic cancer in the fall of 1982. This course high lighted the multidisciplinary approach to the care of these patients, and outlined the clinical and pathophysiological basis for diagnosis and treatment. The term multidisciplinary was essential to the course in which the disciplines of uro logic surgery, medical oncology, and radiation therapy were each appropriately emphasized. Widespread interest in the contents of this course, and the timely and useful nature of much of the information presented there, has encouraged us to publish, in as rapid a manner as possible, new information and highlights of that course. A camera-ready format was used to allow rapid production, and a variety of disparate styles were maintained from chapter to chapter--some in prose, others in outline. Again, our intent was to disseminate information rapidly and accurately, and to that end, we felt that consistency of style was irrelevant.

Urologists and medical oncologists have witnessed a rapid growth in systemic therapeutic options for treating genitourinary malignancies that increasingly integrates radiation therapy to primary cancers, nodal beds, and even metastatic sites. The culmination of these advances has been the creation of multidisciplinary teams that expertly provide comprehensive care to patients with urologic cancers. This book provides the framework to create such a multidisciplinary clinical team focused on the treatment of urologic malignancies with representation from urologists, medical oncologists, and additional specialists who work together to provide optimal team-based care. The book integrates advanced systemic therapeutics including immune-based and targeted therapies. Readers gain a better understanding of the benefit of multidisciplinary co-management through specific examples such as hormone sensitive metastatic prostate cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer, and immunotherapy approaches to advanced bladder and kidney cancer. The book also discusses the integration of genomic tumor characterization and personalized medicine into surgical planning, tumor biopsies, and chemo-immunotherapy selection, emphasizing the expansion of new therapeutics for urologic malignancies and the changing definitions of disease progression. Urologic Oncology: Multidisciplinary Care for Patients is a comprehensive resource for urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, genetic counselors, fellows in urologic oncology and medical oncology, residents in urology and radiation oncology, advanced practice providers, practice managers, and pharmaceutical representatives.
