This book is a guide to the prevention, diagnosis and management of gynaecologic cancers. Divided into nine sections, the first chapters examine different types of cancer – cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and vulval and vaginal. The next section covers screening and management of familial gynaecological cancers, followed by coverage of various treatment options – chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy, a newer modality. The finals chapters cover miscellaneous topics such as breast cancer screening, gynae-oncological emergencies, hormone replacement therapy, and palliative care; concluding with staging systems for the different types of cancer. The comprehensive text covers both pre-malignant and malignant lesions, placing emphasis on the importance of prevention. Each chapter provides not only scientific content, but also explains practical approaches to patient care.
