Gynecologic Oncology was not meant to be a comprehensive guide to the rapidly changing practice of gynecologic oncology, but a reference from which one can be guided in the right direction in the quest for information.
The book addresses the fundamentals of gynecologic oncology, including staging, surgical therapies, comorbidity diagnosis and management, adjuvant therapies including chemotherapy and radiation, and survival and palliative care.
