Description
Today, multidisciplinary approaches to treatment are at the heart of cancer care. They offer im-
proved 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 on-
cologists, 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.
