Recent Results Cancer Res. 2007:175:131-62. doi: 10.1007/978-3-540-40901-4_9.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is often a complex disease and one in which many aspects of the disease and the affected patient must be taken into consideration before decisions about diagnostic work-up, treatments, follow-up, etc. can be made. The current chapter reflects the current recommendations of the European Prostate Cancer Guideline Group made on the basis of criteria of evidence-based medicine after extensive review of the literature available up to December 2005.
