This book in its second edition is intended as a comprehensive yet easy-to-use guide that will provide the busy clinician with up-to-date information on the diagnosis and treatment of uncommon and rare gynecological cancers.
After opening chapters on epidemiology, pathology, and diagnostic imaging, the full range of infrequently encountered gynecological cancers (ovarian, uterine, cervical, vaginal, and vulval) is presented and discussed with the aid of high-quality illustrations. In each case, detailed attention is paid to both differential diagnosis and current treatment options. The closing chapter is devoted to biobanking as well as patient engagement.
The book has been written and updated by an international panel of experts and it will benefit all healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating uncommon and rare gynecological cancers.
Professor Nicholas Reed is a consultant Clinical Oncologist based at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow, Scotland. He has been a consultant oncologist for more than 25 years and is involved in the delivery of both chemotherapy and radiation treatment for patients with gynaecological, thyroid and neuroendocrine cancers. He has also been committed to the management of rare gynaecological cancers: he was a facilitator for the Gynaecological Cancer InterGroup Rare Tumour sub-group and is currently active in the UK in establishing database, registry and guidelines for these tumours.
Dr. John Green is a Senior Lecturer in Cancer Studies at the University of Liverpool, England. He has been involved in the management of gynaecological cancers for 30 years and has been a principal investigator for numerous trials. He has also had a strong commitment to support translational research studies in gynaecological tumours. He has been activelyinvolved in the UK National Cancer Research Institute Gynaecological Cancer Study Group, the EORTC Gynaecological Cancer Group and the Gynaecological Cancer InterGroup.
Professor David Gershenson from the MD Anderson Hospital in Texas is one of North America s most distinguished Gynaecological Oncologists and has published very extensively on gynaecological cancers. His many publications include expert papers on granulosa and sex cord tumours, germ cell tumours, borderline ovarian tumours and other rarer gynaecological cancers.

Professor Jean Calleja-Agius is an obstetrician and gynaecologist who studied both in Malta and at University College London and is currently a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Malta. She has chaired the GYNOCARE COST Action (CA18117 www.gynocare.net), which is a European network for Gynaecological Rare Cancer research: From Concept to Cure. This Action was funded by the European Union and was the first to bring experts from over 30 countries in order to coordinate information gathering on relevant basic and translational research lines and clinical trials in order to develop strategic research lines in the field of gynaecological rare cancer. Through her leadership, Prof Calleja-Agius has helped to coordinate best practices and standard operating procedures needed for biobanking together with legal requirements to support international trials in rare gynaecological cancers.
