The Facts of Prostate Cancer 2/3 of men over age 50 have low grade tumors or potential cancer cells in their prostate. Only 10% will develop clinically aggressive prostate cancer. These non-invasive exams tell if a tumor is aggressive or not with an accuracy exceeding traditional biopsy results and correlate well with prognosis according to the latest international cancer conferences. The PSA test has a poor correlation with cancer detection. The digital rectal exam is more accurate in detecting high grade tumors than the PSA level. Biopsies are random, invasive and may spread tumor cells. New non-invasive treatments are guided by advanced radiologic imaging technologies. The therapeutic effect is serially studied by MRI and 3-D sonography. While generally successful, interval exams may document an unsatisfactory response, allowing "standard" treatments to be started, if necessary, in a timely manner.

A systematic computational approach is proposed to characterize the transcriptional factor binding sites and related molecular pathways involved in prostate caner, based on the available expression data generated from systems approaches on prostate cancer cells as well as comparative genomics data from the human and mouse genome sequencing projects. Androgen Response pathways in LNCaP and CL-1 cells are analyzed and re-constructed from MPSS and ICAT experiment datasets, the TRANSFAC data base, the Mogul scanner, and the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway data base.

Although it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men, prostate cancer is highly misunderstood. The disease has little effect on many, yet it is deadly to others. The book is a form of expedition-an expedition to explore the scientific wildernesses of biology, chemistry, and physics of the mechanisms that promotes and fuels the deadly form of Prostate Cancer. Readers will journey through the modern understanding of the disease that physicians use to exploit its weaknesses, and that result in therapies to reduce or mitigate its devastation. The expedition is for those who want to dig deeper into the subject of advanced prostate cancer. The account is written in understandable terms for a layman, yet retains some scientific rigor without the numbing jargon used in evidence-based scientific and medical journals. The terrain covered is not the initial treatments of prostate cancer-watchful waiting or active surveillance, proton therapy, brachytherapy, external beam therapy, or radical prostatectomy. There are many good books on these topics. This book is primarily about when prostate cancer takes a turn for the worse, and becomes advanced. Most books stop, or say little, on this topic. We pop the hood and take a look at the inner workings of the disease-the science of the disease, its weak points that therapies attempt to exploit, and we examine some of the experiments that got us to our current understanding. This information is difficult to find in an easily digestible form. Books are less likely to be found on these topics as it is not "mass market," and frankly are much more difficult to write. Hundreds of scientific papers have to be researched to keep up with developments. It should appeal to those with the curiosity of a cat, or the inquisitiveness of a scientist. The magic of several beautiful experiments is explained. As such, prostate cancer patients, scientist, engineers, and biotechnologists who want to get an overview of the science applied to this important health menace will benefit from the expedition. Advanced prostate cancer is a disease that must be fought, and fought hard. Like a military fight, its afflicted must become warriors against the disease. Part of the war chest of a warrior is intelligence (information). We need information to synthesize if we are to produce wisdom. And an abundance of wisdom (and luck) is needed to be successful in the fight. It is not just a patient's physicians that lead the prostate cancer journey that a prostate cancer warrior takes, but instead it is a partnership between patient and physician. The expedition for the reader results in providing current information about the science of the disease so that the prostate cancer warrior becomes a kind of Captain Clark, who works side by side with his co-expedition physician leader Captain Lewis to explore the forbidding landscape of this disease.

Image-Guided Prostate Cancer Treatments is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound and MRI in the male pelvis, with special attention to the prostate. The book is organized into three main sections, the first of which is devoted to general aspects of imaging and image-guided treatments. The second section provides a systematic overview of the application of ultrasound and MRI to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lower urinary tract. Performance of the ultrasound and MRI studies is explained, and the normal and abnormal pathological anatomy is reviewed. Correlation with the ultrasound in the same plane is provided to assist in understanding the MRI sequences. Biopsy and interventional procedures, ultrasound-MRI fusion techniques, and image-guided therapies, including focused ultrasound, photodynamic therapy, microwave and laser ablation, are all fully covered. The third section focuses on securing treatment effectiveness and the use of follow-up imaging to ensure therapeutic success and detect tumor recurrence at an early stage, which is vital given that prompt focal treatment of recurrence is very successful. Here, particular attention is paid to the role of Doppler ultrasound and DCE-MRI technologies. This book, containing a wealth of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment, will acquaint beginners with the basics of prostate ultrasound and MRI, while more advanced practitioners will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the imaging and image-guided treatments to the clinical situation. The information provided will permit a tailored approach in dealing with specific pathologic issues.

This book provides a 2015 state of the art update on the hot topic of focal prostate cancer therapy, which offers a means of preserving the prostate and avoiding major side-effects associated with conventional treatment strategies. In so doing, focal therapy meets the desire of many patients, especially those with low-risk disease, to avoid or postpone radical therapies in order to preserve quality of life. A wide range of aspects are covered, including the role of imaging-guided targeted biopsies, the pros and cons of surveillance in comparison with focal therapy, focal hemiablation and focal salvage therapy, multifocal therapies, focal cryotherapy. The potential role of various new diagnostic technologies as well as specific therapeutic devices as "Focal.One" robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound are explained. The authors are all international experts who are long-term proponents of non-invasive treatment of prostate cancer. "Focal Therapy of Prostate Cancer" will be an invaluable source of information for urologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, and general practitioners, and also for patients wishing to learn more about this new treatment option.
