Ovarian cancer provides an up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of clinical management and research progress in the field of epithelial ovarian cancer. The book has its origins in two separate but complementary initiatives. One initiative was a series of reviews commissioned from an international panel of clinicians to cover the spectrum of clinical management of ovarian cancer from prevention, screening and diagnosis to surgery, chemotherapy and palliative care. The second was co-ordinated by the Helene Harris Memorial Trust (HHMT) which has organised key biennial meetings on ovarian cancer for the last 12 years. Attendance at the meetings is by invitation to a small group of international authorities on research aspects of ovarian cancer. Setting the clinically focused reviews alongside the HHMT research focused chapters has created a unique book. It is unusually up-to-date and extremely comprehensive, covering aetiology, pathology, screening, prevention, diagnosis, prognostic techniques, surgery, adjuvant therapy and palliative care. There is detailed coverage of the most recent clinical and scientific developments. Sections on 'tumour biology' and 'novel therapies' have not been covered in comparable books about ovarian cancer. The contributions are from a representative spectrum of experts from both research and clinical backgrounds and with a truly international perspective.
