Summary:

Building on the first edition (2000), this second edition reference has a sharpened focus on review of each of the major disease sites; treatment of ancillary topics (e.g. intensive care management, anesthetic issues, and perioperative radiology) has been dropped. Eighteen chapters address general principles; management (evaluation, postoperative surveillance, infections); decision making (cervical carcinoma, endometrial cancer, pelvic masses and ovarian carcinoma, molar gestation, vulvar cancer); and complimentary medicine and supportive supportive care (psychosocial considerations, pain management, fertility preservation, herbal and supplement use, and end-of-life decision making). The three editors--Scott E. Lenty, Allison E. Axtell, and Steven A. Vasilev--are all affiliated with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group.
