AB Rapid advances in both scientific and clinical aspects of the specialty
in the 10 yr since the 1st edition of Gynecologic Oncology mandated the
present 2nd edition which, because of this growth, contains an
additional 12 chapters. The bulk of the book deals in detail with the
gynecologic malignancies, presenting clinical features, staging,
diagnosis, management, and prognosis. This comprehensive, encyclopedic
account of the current state of the art includes the following: (1)
fundamental principles (epidemiology, viruses in human tumors,
carcinogenesis, immune system and gynecologic cancer, oncological
endocrinology, selection of cytotoxic drugs, radiotherapy, statistics,
clinical trials); (2) diagnostic aids (cytopathology, colposcopy,
hysteroscopy, lymphography, arteriography, venography, MRI, CT,
immunoscintigraphy, ultrasound, laparoscopy, needle biopsy, surgical
staging, tumor markers); (3) malignancies (tumors of vulva and vagina,
tumors of vagina and cervix and related abnormalities in young females
exposed to DES, carcinoma of cervix, carcinoma of endometrium and its
precursors, uterine sarcomas, tumors of fallopian tube and broad
ligament, tumors of ovary, presacral tumors, trophoblastic tumors,
miscellaneous malignant tumors of the female genital tract); (4)
malignant tumors in pregnancy; (5) surgical techniques (CO2 laser,
cryosurgery, electrocoagulation and conization of cervix, abdominal
incisions and sutures, conservative and radical procedures); (6)
management of complications of radical therapy (surgery and
radiotherapy); (7) surgical reconstruction of the gynecologic oncology
patient; and (8) after care (gynecologic pain, sexual morbidity
following gynecologic cancer, psychological processes of recovery,
palliative care for the patient with far advanced gynecologic cancer,
attitudes to dying).
