      ab: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, but it is unusual among solid tumors in that many men die with, rather than of, the disease. This raises challenges in terms of deciding if, when, and how to intervene to control tumor growth and spread in order to extend survival without compromising quality of life. The many developments in the field since the last edition of this book include continuing studies to improve detection and monitoring of the disease, with the evaluation of MRI for screening and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT for staging. Treatment options have also continued to improve and expand for all stages of the disease with the development of ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy, oral LHRH antagonists, PARP inhibitors and lutetium-177 PSMA-617 radioligand therapy.
