9780340742044: Gynecologic Oncology: Principles and Practice of Chemotherapy

Synopsis

The increasing array of new chemotherapeutic agents and combinations available has made it increasingly difficult for the general oncologist, and even the specialist gynecologic oncologist, to keep up to date. This volume, edited and authored by leading experts in the field, addresses this problem by providing a comprehensive, but concise, account of modern chemotherapy to improve understanding and encourage appropriate utilization of the treatment options now available. In addition to chemotherapy, the role of hematopoietic growth factors and bone marrow transplantation in the aggressive management of gynaecologic malignancies is also addressed. Other topics covered include the molecular basis of chemotherapy, management of drug toxicity, regional chemotherapy, chemotherapy in pregnancy and future research directions. The contents should be used as an aid in gynecologic decision making, supplementing the information provided in traditional oncology reference works. The material is presented in a straightforward manner, making chemotherapy of gynecologic cancers understandable for all those involved in the treatment of women with these malignancies.
