Uterine Cancer

Compiling the latest studies on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine cancer, this authoritative reference presents an extensive review of the molecular pathogenesis of endometrial and uterine disorders. Comprehensive and clearly presented, this guide: * discusses how modern imaging techniques can be used in patient assessment and management * debates the routine follow-up of treated cases, proposes models of aftercare, and studies risk factors for relapsed disease * provides a critical assessment of the current literature on screening and disease outcomes * includes an up-to-date section on modern radiotherapy in both a primary and adjuvant role * presents a thorough re-evaluation of the role of surgery in corpus cancer and how this has evolved according to evidence from clinical trials * charts the development and utilization of laparoscopic techniques. Analyzing the patterns of disease presentation as population demographics change, and considering the challenges this will place on future healthcare procedures, this is a highly useful resource for those in the field.Luesley, David M. is the author of 'Uterine Cancer ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780824759513 and ISBN 0824759516.
