In recent years, there have been major advances in the treatment of
patients with gynecologic malignancies. Perhaps the biggest
advances have been in the area of ovarian cancer. Gynecologic
Oncology focuses primarily upon this malignancy. This volume
discusses cytoreductive surgery; screening for ovarian cancer;
chemotherapy; new chemotherapeutic drugs; the controversy regarding
the role of high-dose chemotherapy in gynecologic cancers; the
hereditary basis for gynecologic malignancies; molecular genetics;
molecular biology and new biologic therapies. Other topics covered
are the treatment of all stages of cervical cancer, including
radiotherapy. In addition, a chapter on advances in the pathology
of gynecologic cancers is included. The advances made in the
treatment of gynecologic malignancies are due, in part, to the
clinical studies performed by many of the contributors to this
volume. Clinical advances have been the result of multidisciplinary
approaches which involve molecular biologists, pathologists,
radiation therapists, surgeons and chemotherapists. Future advances
will continue to rely upon collaborative interaction among these
different disciplines.
