The past 15 years have witnessed a marked increase in attempts to identify safe and effective treatment alternatives to prostatectomy. This book is a review of the current therapeutic efforts in the management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is presented by a group of highly regarded basic and clinical scientists with a major interest in prostatic diseases. The information provided in this book is aimed at a wide audience including private practice and academic urologists, general practitioners and general internists, physicians interested in geriatric practice, research fellows and doctors in postgradute training, and basic scientists interested in prostatic pathology. This book may also be useful to physicians interested in innovative therapeutic approaches aimed at the preservation of organ function.
