Recenzii
From the book reviews:
“The focus of this book is on high-yield topics in ovarian cancer, ranging from screening and diagnosis to treatment options and landmark articles. … The audience includes all those who help care for patients with ovarian cancer, including medical students, obstetrics/gynecology residents, oncology fellows, oncology nurses, or board certified gynecologic oncologists or medical oncologists. … This is an excellent handbook that certainly will be useful to anyone involved with the care of ovarian cancer patients.” (Lindsay Midori Kuroki, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)

Notă biografică
Krishnansu S Tewari, MD, is a Professor and Director of Research in the Division of gynecologic oncology at the University of California (UC) Irvine. He received his bachelor’s degree in molecular biology at UC Berkeley, and went to medical school, completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology, and fellowship in gynecologic oncology at the UC Irvine. He serves as the Principal Investigator of the National Cancer Institute’s NRGOncology Cooperative Group and Gynecologic Oncology Group Partners at UC Irvine. At UC Irvine, Dr Tewari is the Chairman of the Clinical Trials Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee and the Director of the Women's Disease Oriented Team for the Chao Family National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. He is also the Director of the Gynecologic Oncology Program at St Joseph’s Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment. Dr Tewari is a voting member of the NRG’s Cervix Committee,
Publications Committee, and Committee on Experimental Medicine, and Chairs the Society of Gynecologic Oncology’s Publications Committee. Dr Tewari has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and written numerous book chapters. His research interests include novel targeted therapeutics in ovarian cancer and cervical cancer. Dr Tewari is funded by the National Institutes of Health to study surrogate markers of angiogenesis in cervical cancer and is the Study Chair/Principal Investigator for Gynecologic Oncology Group protocol 240, the practice-changing phase III randomized clinical trial, which demonstrated that compared with chemotherapy alone, the addition of the anti-angiogenesis drug, bevacizumab, significantly improved overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rate without a significant deterioration in health-related quality of life (Tewari KS, Sill MW, Long HJ 3rd, et al. Improved survival with bevacizumab in advanced cervical cancer. N Engl J Med. 2014;370:734‑743). This pivotal trial led to US Food and Drug Administration approval of bevacizumab in advanced cervical cancer on August 14, 2014. Dr Tewari has been listed for seven consecutive years as one of the Top Doctors in Orange County and has been listed in Best Doctors of America for the past 4 years. An expert in robotic surgery, for the past 2 years Dr Tewari has been traveling every 8 months to conduct robotic surgery workshops in different cities in India for women diagnosed with early stage cervical and endometrial cancer.
