Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Gynecologic Oncology takes a fresh look at a critical aspect of cancer treatment planning. An international team of authors reviews the traditional prognostic and predictive factors such as tumor grade, histologic subtype, and grade and then goes a step further to review the growing number of molecular discoveries that have increasing clinical significance. The book is organized into comprehensive sections on ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancer and includes up to date reviews, newly discovered molecular pathways, genetic markers, molecular imaging techniques, and their relevance to clinical medicine.

Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Gynecologic Oncology is illustrated with over 100 figures and is essential reading for oncologists, translational and basic scientists, as well as fellows, residents and students with a special interest in gynecologic oncology.

Currently, there is a critical need for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, obstetricians, and gynecologists to integrate meaningful cancer screening and a prevention strategy into daily clinical practice. It is particularly necessary for physicians with patients who are predisposed to hereditary gynecologic cancer (HGC). Clinicians are increasingly confronted with serious issues, such as attempting to knowledgeably apply growing insights of the biology and genetics of cancer, effectively identify high-risk patients, and utilize screening and prevention techniques in their practice.

"Hereditary Gynecologic Cancer" is a clinician-focused reference addressing the epidemiologic, biological, and clinical issues associated with HGC. Containing an overview of hereditary gynecological cancers, as well as in-depth information about Hereditary Breast Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, Lynch, and other syndromes with gynecologic cancer components, this is a one-stop source for all clinicians that treat patients at risk for developing these diseases.

Key features of "Hereditary Gynecologic Cancer" include:
