Description

This textbook is a complete guide to the practice of gynecologic oncology for the physician in training, the general gynecologist and the cancer specialist. The contents integrate the essential clinical characteristics of the various gynecological tumors (symptoms, physical findings, epidemiology) with detailed, explicit information concerning their diagnosis, treatment and outcome. The scope has been expanded in this, the 3rd Edition, by incorporating unusual malignant tumors, benign tumors and related conditions such as genital warts and the vulvar dystrophies. In addition, chapters have been added on breast diseases and medical statistics. The section on chemotherapy has been completely rewritten and a new chapter on immunology has been added. Every section has been revised on the basis of a detailed review of the literature and changes in clinical practice since the last edition. Thus, the 3rd edition has undergone major revisions by way of broadening its scope and updating its information. The breadth of coverage qualifies the book to serve as a basic textbook as well as a reference work for clinical practice.
