This volume is an up-to-date resource on the international state-of-the-art in the diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer.  While this devastating disease has been considered mainly a disease of the Western hemisphere, the book moves beyond our conventional understanding and embraces knowledge from around the world. It focuses on recent advances in diagnosis, including genetic screening, improvements and expanded choices in management, such as gene therapy and the optimization of chemotherapeutic agents, and the latest laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques.
