Overcoming Drug Resistance in Gynecologic Cancers provides
up-to-date information related to important gynecologic cancers and
focuses on mechanisms of drug resistance, genetics, signaling,
immunology, health disparities, nanotechnology, economic
considerations and financial impacts. The book covers not only drug
resistance but also important means to reverse resistance both in
the laboratory and clinic. The book discusses topics such as
lifestyle, nutrition and risk of gynecologic cancers, the financial
impact of drug resistance, chemosensitizing agents and targeted
therapies in cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancer,
immunotherapy to overcome drug resistance, and genetic
polymorphisms in gynecologic cancers. Additionally, it discusses
ethnic and racial health disparity perspectives and future
developments in chemosensitizing activities to reverse drug
resistance in gynecologic cancers. It is a valuable resource for
cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians and other biomedical
field members who are interested in new approaches to improve
chemotherapy outcome in patients with gynecologic cancers.

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery provides a complete,
practical and timely review of the minimally invasive surgical
techniques used to treat gynaecologic diseases and conditions.
Recent advances in technology and instrumentation, particularly the
use of robot-assisted surgery, mean that minimally invasive
approaches have become increasingly established as alternatives to
traditional open surgeries. This book describes the full range of
minimally invasive procedures in current gynaecologic practice,
with discussion of the indications and contraindications and a
summary of available evidence. The book opens with a section
describing instrumentation, electrosurgery, how to avoid and manage
complications and single port surgery. Subsequent sections cover
procedures for benign and malignant conditions and relevant
robotically assisted surgeries. Highly structured chapters provide
practical guidance to key steps of each procedure, alternative
management options; contraindications and available evidence
Stellar contributors from leading centers in the USA, Brazil,
Chile, Canada, France, Italy and Belgium ensure coverage reflects
global best practice
The vast majority of women suffer from back pain while they are
pregnant, during labor, and/or post partum. This book was written
to address, empower, and inform women about back pain related to
pregnancy. The book explains the unique physical conditions
associated with pregnancy, why women might be experiencing
discomfort and, more importantly, how back pain can be avoided.
A critical analysis of white, working class North Americans'
motivations and experiences when traveling to Central Europe for
donor egg IVF Each year, more and more Americans travel out of the
country seeking low cost medical treatments abroad, including
fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). As the
lower middle classes of the United States have been priced out of
an expensive privatized "baby business," the Czech Republic has
emerged as a central hub of fertility tourism, offering a
plentitude of blonde-haired, blue-eyed egg donors at a fraction of
the price. Fertility Holidays presents a critical analysis of
white, working class North Americans' motivations and experiences
when traveling to Central Europe for donor egg IVF. Within this
diaspora, patients become consumers, urged on by the representation
of a white Europe and an empathetic health care system, which seems
nonexistent at home. As the volume traces these American fertility
journeys halfway around the world, it uncovers layers of
contradiction embedded in global reproductive medicine. Speier
reveals the extent to which reproductive travel heightens the hope
ingrained in reproductive technologies, especially when the
procedures are framed as "holidays." The pitch of combining a
vacation with their treatment promises couples a stress-free IVF
cycle; yet, in truth, they may become tangled in fraught situations
as they endure an emotionally wrought cycle of IVF in a strange
place. Offering an intimate, first-hand account of North Americans'
journeys to the Czech Republic for IVF, Fertility Holidays exposes
reproductive travel as a form of consumption which is motivated by
complex layers of desire for white babies, a European vacation,
better health care, and technological success.
