MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The focus of Berek and Hacker's for four editions has been on the application of basic and clinical science to the clinical practice of gynecologic oncology. That approach has been successful and the book has been well received. The Fifth Edition follows the format of the previous editions, with the addition of color. We will also include a fully searchable companion Website that includes an image bank.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Average Rating 

"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."

 

"This is a really outstanding book written by authorities in the field and is a must-own for those caring for women with these diseases. It serves its purpose well."
