Author Description

Incorporates the latest advances in gynecologic oncology and covers new topics of vital importance to oncologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, general surgeons, and internists. A multidisciplinary group of contributors--more than thirty newly selected for this edition--provides comprehensive coverage of the biology of gynecologic cancers, the therapeutic modalities currently available, and the diagnosis and treatment of specific gynecologic malignancies. The Second Edition contains new chapters on cancer prevention, cancer in the pregnant patient, and gynecologic oncology for the general obstetrician-gynecologist. Greater emphasis is placed on early diagnosis of cancer by techniques such as colposcopy and biopsy. Other highlights include a new, detailed chapter on stromal tumors of the ovary.
