Offering a one-stop guide to recognition and therapeutic decision making, Diagnosis and Treatment of Rare Gynecologic Cancers fills a gap in the medical literature on uncommon ovarian, uterine, cervical, and vulvovaginal cancers and trophoblastic diseases. Diagnosis and Treatment of Rare Gynecologic Cancers edited by Drs. Michael Frumovitz, Mario Leitao, and Preetha Ramalingam, has been authored by internationally recognized experts from top institutions such as MD Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Each chapter covers different cancer subtypes and has been reviewed by an oncologist and a pathologist.

• Provides up-to-date clinical guidance on assessment and therapeutic options for patients with rare gynecologic malignancies.
• Presents information in a templated, easy-to-read format. Each chapter includes an introductory clinical case followed by epidemiology of disease, pathologic assessment, basic science/molecular/translational research, work-up of newly diagnosed disease, staging, treatment of newly diagnosed disease, treatment of recurrent disease, potential therapeutic targets, and a case resolution.
• Includes diagnostic and treatment algorithms for each form of cancer.
• Contains numerous anatomical figures, radiographs, photographs, and tables for quick visual reference.

Review

“This is an easy-to-read resource on rare gynecological cancers for those in the field. Each chapter is comprehensive and self-standing, preventing flipping back and forth to other chapters to find pertinent material. There are useful figures and tables to summarize the content and to give an at-a-glance, quick view of the key information covered in the chapter. The book is very up to date and addresses all therapies that are currently used in gynecological cancers.The ebook is easy to navigate and provides access to the book in its entirety.” ©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Dandi Huang, MD(Cedars-Sinai Medical Center).
