This reference on gynaecologic oncology covers all topics relevant to the care of women with malignancies of the breast or reproductive organs, including: biology and genetics of cancer; tumour markers and screening; radiation therapy; epidemiology; preinvasive disease; preoperative evaluation; medical management; critical care; and nutritional therapy. This edition features two new chapters on genetics and on laparoscopy, and includes new information on molecular biology, growth factors, chemotherapy and cost containment.
That approach has been successful and the book has been well received. The Fifth Edition follows the format of the previous editions, with the addition of color.
New chapters in this edition cover laparoscopic surgery and national strategies for gynecologic cancer. More than 30 percent of the chapters have been completely rewritten. This edition also includes new full-color illustrations
