Produktbeschreibung

Main description:

Molecular Pathology of Gynecologic Cancer presents a focused educational experience featuring various perspectives and expertise in the emerging are of molecular biology with correlation of morphology in gynecologic cancer.

---

Molecular Pathology of Gynecologic Cancer focuses on putting successful molecular strategies into practice for the treatment of gynecologic cancer. The volume begins with an explication of the editors' hypothesis that cancer is mainly a disease of the cell cycle, based on the deregulation of the physiological process of cell reproduction. The following eleven chapters focus on specific issues in gynecologic cancers, including: a proposed model of ovarian serous carcinogenesis, molecular markers for ovarian epithelial cancer, an overview of the pathology of endometrial cancer, molecular genetic aspects of endometrial carcinoma and cervical cancer, a natural history of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) as it relates to cervical cancer, and hereditary issues in gynecologic cancers. The concluding chapter proposes and outlines a holistic approach to the treatment of female cancer patients. This new volume in Humana's Current Clinical Oncology(TM) series will be necessary reading for clinicians and experimental researchers alike.

Rezensionen

Aus den Rezensionen:

"Das vorliegende Buch ... schließt ... eine bisher ... selten abgedeckte Informationslücke ... Positiv ist eine sehr gute Darstellung der jeweiligen Besonderheiten, ihrer histologisch unterscheidbaren Entitäten und, sofern bereits etabliert, der bisher bestehenden Modelle zu ihrer Pathogenese hevorzuheben. ... Die Erläuterungen zu den ... komplexen Interaktionen werden durch eine umfangreiche Literaturliste ergänzt ... Hilfreiche Hinweise ... erlauben eine weiterführende Orientierung des Lesers. ... Die Darstellung nach Form und Inhalt ist in jedem Falle geeignet, dem Leser die weitere Vertiefung in die aktuelle Literatur zu den behandelten Tumorentitäten zu ermöglichen."

"...a complete compilation of the molecular events leading to gynecologic cancers. There are no other books that compete with it or address the issues it does." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:90 - 4 Stars
