Publisher's Synopsis
Epithelial cancer of the ovary will affect one in 70 newborn baby girls at some time during their life. Aggressive debulking surgery combined with platinum based chemotherapy can prolong life, but cure for three quarters or so of patients remains a rare phenomenon. This volume emphasizes the mutlispecialist aspects of managing ovarian cancer and should provide an up-to-date reference for gynaecologists, cancer physicians, radiation oncologists and other physicians treating women with this disease.
