Synopsis

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies in the Western world. While substantial progress has been made, and more and more patients are living longer with the disease, the majority of patients with advanced ovarian cancer are not cured. Ovarian Cancer, a volume in the American Cancer Society Atlas of Clinical Oncology series, thoroughly discusses pathology, biology, epidemiology, genetics and screening. Specific chapters examine diagnosis and staging, surgical cytoreduction, and primary chemotherapy regimens. Renowned contributors lend their expertise to chapters on radiation therapy, early stage management, palliative surgery, and developmental and high-dose chemotherapy. Germ cell tumors and ovarian sex cord-stroma tumors are also examined. In addition, the text outlines the major progress made in the understanding of the biology of ovarian cancer and the molecular genetics of the disease. The majority of this atlas' authors are involved in the NCI-sponsored Specialized Programs in Research Excellence (SPORE) Program in Ovarian Cancer.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Aegean Conferences is an independent, nonprofit, educational organization directed and managed by the scientific community. The board is made up of nine researchers/scientists in various disciplines from Harvard, Brown, University of Pennsylvania, UCSD, Princeton, Biovista and the Foundation for Biomedical Research Academy of Athens. The board both invites and approves unsolicited proposals for Conferences in all fields of Science, Engineering, Arts, and Humanities. The purpose of the Conferences is to bring together individuals with common interests to examine the emerging and most advanced aspects of their particular field. The Symposium on Ovarian Cancer: State of the Art and Future Directions intends to bring together international experts interested in the development of novel diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tools for ovarian cancer. The meeting will function as a think tank where clinicians, translational and basic scientists, and parties from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry will get together to review recent advances in clinical research and translational science in ovarian cancer and define areas of future research opportunities and priorities.
