Produktbeschreibung

Unfortunately, the average physician and even cancer care-givers are not knowledgeable about the effects of cancer treatment on sex and reproductive life. They are even less aware of the options available for treatment of such patients. Cancer and Sexuality is designed to give a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of the sexual and reproductive consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

"Nearly 100 internationally recognised contributors ... collected an impressive amount of information useful for sexual medicine clinicians, urologists and oncologists. The book is divided into five parts. ... All pharmacological, nutritional, surgical and psychological strategies were exhaustively considered including current and future options. This outstanding textbook succeeded in its aim and we recommend this as a reference to clinicians involved in cancer management or in urology-andrology for them to obtain valuable information which can be useful in clinical practice."
