Convinced that cancer is mainly a disease of the cell cycle, these contributors work within specific issues raised by gynecological cancers, proposing a holistic approach to the treatment of female cancer patients. They cover ovarian cancer, including articles on a model of ovarian serous carcinogenesis, endometrial cancer at the molecular level and as a genetic study, cervical cancer and the impact of HPV and vaccination, gestational trophoblastic disease, hereditary issues in gynecological cancer, including those involving ovarian and endometrial cancer, and the efficacy of multidisciplinary approach to these cancers. The volume includes the latest in clinical trials (such as the ongoing phase I and II clinical trials for different HPV vaccine preparations), is well-illustrated and contains references.
