    Description

    While cancer affects primarily the elderly, it also occurs in younger age groups, with different implications specifically relating to reproduction. Cancer can also occur during pregnancy itself. This brings together two diverse areas of medicine, encompassing the complexity of cancer and its varied biology and the equally challenging areas of fertility, conception and pregnancy. The 55th RCOG Study Group brought together a range of experts to examine these issues. This book presents the findings of the Study Group, with sections covering:
    • epidemiology, genetics and basic principles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
    • fertility issues and paediatric cancers
    • gynaecological cancers and precancer
    • diagnostic dilemmas
    • the placenta
    • non-gynaecological cancers
    • multidisciplinary care and service provision.

    • Based on the RCOG Study Group, bringing together the most up-to-date research in the field of cancer and reproductive health
    • A valuable source of reference for anyone working in the field of cancer and reproductive health
    • Includes consensus views to inform clinical practice and future research

    Zygote

    : Journal

    Zygote is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of original research in early embryology. It covers interdisciplinary studies in animals and humans, from gametogenesis through fertilization to gastrulation. The scope includes gametogenesis, sperm–oocyte interaction, gamete and embryo physiology, cell polarity, cell–cell interactions, nuclear transfer, haploidization, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, in-vitro fertilization, and stem-cell and cryoconservation technologies. The editors favour work describing fundamental processes in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of animal development, and, in particular, the identification of unifying principles in biology. New technologies, clinical papers, review articles, debates and letters will become prominent features.
