Gynaecologic Cancer: A Handbook for Students and Practitioners

Editat de Mohd Rushdan Md Noor, Tay Eng Hseon, Low Jen Hui Jeffrey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iun 2014
Gynaecologic oncology is one of the most important subjects in gynaecology and a very challenging field. The management of patients with gynaecological cancers is complex, as the impact of the outcome of such cancers can be critical.
This handbook covers the basics of carcinogenesis and the advances in the prevention and management of all gynaecologic cancers, including breast cancer. Gynaecologic oncology has always been perceived as the most difficult subject in obstetrics and gynaecology, but this handbook proves it otherwise. The text is presented in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner and is supplemented by plenty of images and illustrations and up-to-date references from established sources. The book also introduces readers to the new FIGO 2009 staging system and will be a very useful reference for researchers and clinicians.

Recenzii

"This comprehensive handbook covers the essentials of gynaecological oncology. The text includes all pelvic tumours as well as breast cancer, cancer in pregnancy, and fertility-sparing possibilities. It outlines well the complications of treatment with the basics of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is a good book for the aspiring junior doctor to have as a guide for current clinical practice and to review before ‘that exam’. A well-worth buy!"
Prof. John H. Shepherd, Royal Marsden Hospital, UK
"This book presents a comprehensive collection of information on gynaecologic oncology in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner. I am convinced that students, young gynaecologists, and gynaecologic oncologists will enjoy reading this informative text."
