The book is based on the technical expertise of a renowned team of authors and reflects the current state of science. There are many references and explanations to the S3 guideline “Psycho-oncological diagnostics, counseling and treatment of adult cancer patients”.

For urologists, oncologists, psychotherapists and every doctor who treats urological tumor patients and uses this valuable component in cancer therapy professionally – for a better quality of life for the patient.
