Produktbeschreibung

Ovarian cancer is the commonest and most lethal gynaecological malignancy, partly because the majority of patients present with advanced disease. The management of patients with ovarian neoplasms has changed substantially, with improved survival due to better screening strategies, major advances in chemotherapy and the constantly evolving role of surgery. Optimal patient care is best achieved by a multidisciplinary team, with imaging playing a pivotal role. The explosion of technological developments in imaging in recent years means that all members of the team should understand the potential of these imaging techniques.
