A comprehensive description of the current treatment modalities, and while special attention is paid to the role of radiotherapy, established alternative radical surgical procedures and the newer chemotherapeutic regimens are also considered in detail. Devoted entirely to female genital cancers, the book is written by internationally recognised experts from Europe, the United States, and Japan, who all have extensive experience of the special entities involved. Close to 200 tables present the impressive amount of data contributed by the authors in a clear manner and no attempt is made to avoid controversies concerning adequate treatment.
