This book is a practical and comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related diseases from a urological perspective. It reviews new diagnostic methods for virus detection and typing, management of penile and urethral lesions, new treatment modalities including an overview of the use of lasers, the link between HPV and cancer, and new prevention methods with an update on HPV vaccines.

From the reviews: "The focus of this book is on the role and management of human papilloma virus in the male patient. As the title suggests, the primary audience is urologists. ? anyone in obstetrics/gynecology, dermatology, pathology, medical or surgical oncology could find the information helpful. ? This is the only book in the field of urology dedicated to the management of male patients with HPV. ? a very useful reference in the field for those with an interest in oncology or sexually transmitted disease in men."
