Case-Based Gynecological Oncology

Case-Based Gynecological Oncology is a practical case-based guide for clinicians that connects academic knowledge with day-to-day clinical practice. The sections cover the key gynaecological malignancies including ovarian, cervical, endometrial and vulva cancer. There are also sections dedicated to gynaecological malignancy in the pregnant patient and considerations for fertility preservation.  

Each chapter considers an important clinical scenario, presenting case studies that are followed by focused questions and in-depth discussion on differential diagnoses, treatment strategies (including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and novel therapies like immunotherapy) and outcomes. Case discussions are supported by guidance on relevant diagnostic imaging tests, histological data and evidence-based guidelines.

While the book is prim-arily aimed at gynaecologists and oncologists, it also provides a useful reference text for the subspecialist gynaecological radiologist, providing clinical context to the decision-making process in the gynaecology oncology multidisciplinary team meeting.  

The format of the book is useful in clarifying how imaging sits within the broader framework of care for the patient and helps the radiologist better anticipate what information the clinician is seeking from imaging at different stages in the patient journey, covering diagnosis to post-treatment surveillance and disease recurrence.  While the text is thorough from a clinical management perspective, a section dedicated to imaging and the role played in influencing management decisions would be a welcome addition.
