This book is a case-based resource detailing the latest diagnostic and management strategies applicable to a number of carefully selected situations in clinical gynecological oncology. It emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to tackling difficult and unique clinical presentations. Each chapter presents a specific pathology and features descriptions of clinical scenarios and presentations that are both commonly and rarely encountered. Techniques and strategies for ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer are discussed in accordance with the latest evidence-based knowledge on the topic. Relevant "tips and tricks" are identified in each chapter to assist the reader in developing a thorough understanding of the topics discussed and enhance their decision making skills. Case-Based Gynecological Oncology is a practical guide to clinical presentations of a range of conditions encountered in the field, making it a valuable resource for all clinicians who encounter these patients in their day-to-day practice.
