Synopsis

This edition incorporates recent advances in gynaecologic oncology and covers topics of importance to oncologists, obstetricians, gynaecologists, general surgeons and internists. The volume provides coverage of the biology of gynaecologic cancers, the therapeutic modalities currently available, and the diagnosis and treatment of specific gynaecologic malignancies. Topics discussed include cancer prevention, cancer in the pregnant patient and gynaecologic oncology for the general obstetrician-gynaecologist. Greater emphasis is placed on early diagnosis of cancer by techniques such as colposcopy and biopsy. Stromal tumours of the ovary are also documented.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This updated fifth edition provides comprehensive coverage of the biology of gynecologic cancer, the therapeutic modalities available, and the diagnosis and treatment of site-specific malignancies. Because of the importance of multimodality treatment, the site-specific chapters are co-authored by a surgical oncologist, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, and a pathologist. State-of-the-art information on molecular biology, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and gene-directed therapies is included throughout the book. This edition has 30 per cent new contributing authors and new material. Several chapters have been consolidated and streamlined to create a more concise, user-friendly book. Information about psychological aspects, surgical rehabilitation, and pregnancy-related issues has been incorporated into many of the disease site chapters. There is a companion website that will offer the fully searchable text.
