Summary It has become clear that scientific discoveries and technological advances leading to novel practices are occurring more quickly than they can be assessed by either clinical trials or scientific evaluation. Nonetheless, important breakthroughs have been made in the development of new treatments with significant implications for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Providing a broad scientific background, The Prostate: New Concepts and Developments covers topics ranging from basic biology to the regulatory mechanisms that control abnormal growth and progre
