This practical book provides up-to-date information on the
particular features of ovarian cancer in older women and the best
management approach. The full range of relevant topics is covered.
Guidance is provided on geriatric assessment, screening, pathology,
diagnosis, and follow-up. The various treatment options are
carefully explained, covering surgical approaches, chemotherapy as
a first-line strategy, the use of anti-angiogenic agents, and
treatment of relapse. The cognitive problems that may arise in
elderly women during and after treatment of ovarian cancer are
documented, with advice on response. Guidance is also provided on
the design of clinical trials, and current directions in biological
research are reviewed. This book will be of value to both
practitioners and researchers with an interest in ovarian cancer
and the elderly.
