Urologic Cancer: Endoscopic, Laparoscopic, and Robot-Assisted Surgery Management (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which is the Second Edition of “Urologic Cancer: Endoscopic, Laparoscopic, and Robot-Assisted Surgery Management”.

The recent advances in robot-assisted urologic surgery have changed the quality of life for patients with urologic malignancy, such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer, with less invasive surgery, less blood loss, and better functional preservation. Importantly, the diagnostic value may also be changed by the recent developments in radical surgery. However, the impact of developing such a surgical modality has not been fully assessed due to the paucity of data and short follow-up period. The comparison among radiologic, open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted surgery has not been sufficiently investigated. Moreover, transurethral and endoscopic approaches to cancer lesions have also been developed in this decade. This Special Issue calls for clinical studies and reviews on any topic in “Endoscopic, Laparoscopic, and Robot-Assisted Surgery Management”.
