Type: Hardback Book
Lymphatic mapping techniques are proving to be crucial to the early detection and safe treatment of gynecological and breast cancers. However, there has not previously been a single, comprehensive resource on this topic. In Clinical Lymphatic Mapping in Gynecologic Cancers, such techniques are fully explained, with an emphasis on the concept of sentinel lymph node detection.
The book provides a historical perspective, an understanding of the associated modalities of pathology and diagnostic imaging, a disease site-specific review of the literature, and step-by-step descriptions of how to identify sentinel nodes. The text is fully illustrated, allowing readers to grasp the techniques quickly and master the analysis of the results. The editors address the entire breadth of the topic, making this an ideal reference for qualified professionals and students in gynecological oncology and breast cancer.
Key features:
*Provides a firm understanding of the complexity and nuances of lymphatic anatomy
*Describes the concept of sentinel lymph node detection in gynecologic and breast oncology
*Details the various mapping techniques used and the analysis of the results
*Contains more than 100 colour and black and white illustrations
