Description:
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.
