Principles and Practice of Gynecologic Oncology

By Carlos A. Pérez, William J. Hoskins, Robert C. Young

This updated Fourth Edition provides comprehensive coverage of the biology of gynecologic cancer, the therapeutic modalities available, and the diagnosis and treatment of site-specific malignancies. Because of the importance of multimodality treatment, the site-specific chapters are co-authored by a surgical oncologist, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, and a pathologist. A significant portion of this edition focuses on monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and gene directed therapies and how they can greatly improve treatment outcomes. A new chapter on end-of-life care is also included. Three distinguished new editors-Richard R. Barakat, MD, Maurie Markman, MD, and Marcus E. Randall, MD-now join the editorial team.

Principles and practice of gynecologic oncology

The most detailed reference book available in Gyne Oncology. Could have benefited from more schematic explanations and diagrams. Best book overall in the market.
