In addition to their competition with traditional publications, textbooks now compete with Internet sources that are likely to be updated more frequently. ...the benefit of a book like this may be ...that it provides the historical context of the field, rather than the most current data.

Book Review
With nearly one fourth of all solid tumors located in four organs, genitourinary oncology is proportionately underrepresented in the literature of basic science, epidemiology, clinical research, and ...translational research. However, this topic is well covered in medical textbooks, most of which have been urologic textbooks such as
Campbell's Urology
(8th ed. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders, 2002). Recently, however, there has been an increase in multidisciplinary textbooks. In particular, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the first edition of the
Comprehensive Textbook of Genitourinary Oncology
as well as the release of the third edition.
The original editors, a diverse group, established . . .
