"This is a comprehensive compilation of the issues necessary to understand when caring for women with gynecologic cancers. The authors cover the pertinent basic science and molecular issues, as well as the various specific gynecologic cancers. They also cover the ancillary issues such as preoperative care and psychosocial issues associated with these diseases. The book is well organized and the references are appropriate."
