This invaluable handbook puts current, succinct clinical information on the diagnosis and management of the full range of gynecologic malignancies in the hands of residents, fellows, and attending physicians. Formerly entitled Manual of Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecology, the text has been streamlined for its second edition to focus exclusively on cancers of the female reproductive tract.
With unsurpassed experience and authority, Dr. Piver and his colleagues at the prestigious Roswell Park Cancer Institute provide state-of-the-art information in a practical and easily accessible format. This thorough revision includes brandnew chapters on premalignant conditions; chemotherapy; tumor immunology; pathology; tumor genetics; and diagnostic imaging. Individual chapters on ovarian, fallopian tube, uterine, cervix, vulvar, and vaginal cancers provide the latest in diagnosis and treatment. Later chapters bring the reader up-to-date on principles of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, tumor immunology, pathology, diagnostic imaging, critical care, and tumor genetics.
