USDGlobally, almost nine million women are diagnosed with cancer each year. Nearly every type of cancer affects the female reproductive system. This book is a comprehensive reference for the gynecologic care of women who have been directly impacted by cancer. Providing streamline management approaches to common clinical problems, the text is split into two sections. The first addresses common gynecologic concerns for all cancer patients, with chapters covering topics such as fertility assessment and preservation options, managing sexual health, and cancer and pregnancy. The second section addresses gynecologic considerations based on specific cancer sites including breast cancer, head and neck cancers and leukemias. Representative patient vignettes are included at the end of each chapter to reinforce clinical guidance, along with bulleted 'take home points' for rapid information access.
- Clinical vignettes provide context to the cases and ground the information in real-world situations that may be encountered by readers
- Bulleted 'take home points' highlight key information and allow readers to absorb information quickly
- Authored and edited by a range of experts in the field, with many based at the prestigious University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston
