  • Difficult areas within each chapter are summarised reinforcing the central points and key message of each chapter
  • Describes the two common staging regimes used by all units across the world, namely, the FIGO staging system and the TNM system
  • Unique landscape format allows each chapter to open on the left hand side and read across the double spread, enabling the reader to see both staging systems at once

'Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer' is designed to be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures between the surgeon and the radiologist. It describes the two common staging regimes used by all units across the world, namely, the FIGO staging system and the TNM system.

The ‘landscape’ format allows each chapter to open on the left hand side and read across the double spread, enabling the reader to see both staging systems at once. Each chapter has a separate section on Epidemiology, Diagnosis, with radiological plates, Management, in tabular form, and Key Points. The book takes the reader through each gynaecologic cancer with a short text accompanying clear radiographic images with legends. Staging is also shown in pictorial form in order to aid clarity.

The book will be of particular interest to the multi-disciplinary team who looks after this group of patients namely, clinical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and specialist nurses, all with their respective trainees.

Contents:
Introduction. Cervical cancer. Vaginal cancer. Vulval carcinoma. Endometrial cancer. Ovarian cancer. Gestational trophoblastic disease.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the current status of all the key viruses that are being developed as treatments for cancer. It is the first book to describe the use of viruses as oncolytic agents, killing cells directly, and it bridges the gap between bench research and clinical applications.

Viral Therapy of Cancer reviews all aspects of viral applications in the treatment of cancer, including quality, control and regulatory issues in various countries. Edited by three experts in the field of cancer gene therapy with experience in both laboratory and clinical research, this book is an invaluable resource for both basic scientists and clinicians with an interest in virology and gene therapy.

Much has changed since the first book Paediatric Oncology: Acute Nursing Care (1999), therefore, this new edition encompasses these changes in relation to the practice itself and the evidence that underpins it. Emphasis is placed on ensuring terminology is accurate, in keeping with the language of the current day.

The book is divided into six sections: Chemotherapy, Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, General Surgery, Radiotherapy, Late Effects of cancer therapies, and Palliative Care. There is a brief commentary at the end of each section/chapter by a ‘novice’ author but experienced practitioner, highlighting to the reader what is already known and what the section/chapter adds to their current knowledge and practice.
