Principles and Practice of Gynecologic
Oncology,
Sixth Edition
Barakat, Berchuk et al.
Today, multidisciplinary approaches to treatment
are at the heart of cancer care. They offer
improved clinical outcomes, new possibilities in
patient quality of life, and enable the development
of true innovation in individualized treatment. To
accurately reflect this modern day approach to
cancer care, the content of the Sixth Edition of
Principles and Practice of Gynecologic Oncology
was written entirely by surgeons, medical
oncologists, radiation oncologists, and
pathologists. New to the editorial team, Dr.
Andrew Berchuck has made significant contributions to the
understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of ovarian and endometrial
cancer in the book’s content. Every chapter of this book has been either
completely rewritten or extensively updated to ensure that everyone
involved in treating women with gynecologic cancer will have the most
comprehensive and up-to-date information on the subject.
Features:
Full-colour layout with over 550 illustrations

textbook is to provide a source of both help and
inspiration to all those who care for patients with
cancer. Written in a more reader-friendly format,
this textbook not only offers authoritative and
up-to-date reviews of research and clinical care
best practices, but also practical clinical
applications to help readers put everything they learn to use.
Features:
Completely updated and revised
▶
▶
Nineteen new chapter topics covering everything from dermatologic
▶
▶
toxicity of cancer treatment to running family meetings for setting
goals of care.
New tables, algorithms, and flow charts

The development of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
has ushered in a new age in tumor treatment—allowing oncologists
to maximize coverage of abnormal cells while sparing healthy tissue.
This practical resource’s aim is to enhance readers’ understanding
of this cutting-edge technology, while providing essential information
on clinical indications, image interpretation, target delineation, and
plan optimization. Coverage of anatomy and anatomical imaging
supports readers’ understanding of IMRT and its advantages. Practical
applications address a range of tumor types and sites—including head
and neck, urinary, and gynecologic cancers. Hundreds of high-quality,
full-colour illustrations assist in clinical decision-making.

Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology
Greer
The first edition of
Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology
was published in
1942 and clearly established hematology as a distinct subspecialty of
internal medicine. The appeal of Wintrobe has always been its ability
to correlate basic science with the clinical practice of hematology.
This coupled with the power of the Wintrobe name has helped to set
it apart from the competition. The book is encyclopedic in its coverage
of biology and pathophysiology as well as of clinical practice. It offers
an exhaustive panorama of diagrams, figures, standard and electron
micrographs, algorithms, schemas, and protocols—all in color.
Readers of
Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology
find a comprehensive,
encyclopedic, accurate, and authoritative review of classic hematology
that exquisitely intertwines basic molecular biology with the clinical
diagnosis and treatment of disease.
