Publisher's Synopsis
The new second edition of this highly–acclaimed text has been extensively revised and expanded to provide a definitive and contemporary reference on the subject for the gynaecologist (Both in practice and in training), the pathologist, venereologist and related health care professional. Providing a comprehensive examination of the applications and benefits of modern diagnostic and therapeutic practices in managing lesions of the female lower genital tract, the book is presented in a clear, easy–to–read style and is supported by over 780 superb full–colour photograohs and line drawings. The text covers investigative procedures and techniques, reviews the normal and abnormal cervix and fully appraises the diagnosis and management of both benign and malignant lesions.
Vaginal, vulvular and perianal premalignant diseases are discussed, and a separate section is devoted to those conditions which mimic, and can thus be confused with, precancer. A new section on AIDS has been included and an entire chapter on pathology and exfoliative cytology is also incorporated.
Lower Genital Tract Precancer is much more than simply a colposcopic atlas – it is a comprehensive and definitive statement of the wide range of skills needed to manage any and all, of the precancerous conditions and those which may mimic them.
