Gynecology is the field of medicine that deals with female reproductive health pertaining to the uterus, vagina and ovaries. Gynecological cancers can occur in the ovaries, uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes, cervix and vulva. Pap test, biopsy, CT and MRI scans, etc. assist the diagnosis of such cancers. Gynecologic ultrasonography for the imaging of the pelvic organs particularly the ovaries, the uterus and the fallopian tubes is used extensively to diagnose gynecological cancers. Radical hysterectomy involving a complete removal of the cervix, upper vagina, uterus and parametrium is a common treatment strategy. Ovaries, lymph nodes and fallopian tubes are often removed in such cases. Another gynecological procedure is the vulvectomy. It involves the partial or complete removal of the vulva to manage certain cancers. An inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy may be performed in addition to a radical vulvectomy procedure if metastasis of a cancer is suspected. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about gynecological cancers. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core clinical aspects of such conditions. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.
