Review: Ovarian cancer accounts for 5% of all cancer deaths, and is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women. It is not a single disease entity and its manifestations are diverse. Its management requires input from a multidisciplinary team of gynaecologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, palliative care physicians and nurse specialists. The book uses clinical cases taken from the author's own practices to discuss the clinical problems. Each chapter covers a different aspect of management of ovarian cancer, including : epithelial ovarian cancer; non-epitherial malignant ovarian tumours; relapsed ovarian cancer; diagnostic aspects; psychosocial issues and palliative care; and obtaining health information on the Internet.
