About the book

Classic text revised with more than 400 illustrations and photographs. The text spans everything from embryology to the emotional trauma women undergo when their cervix is removed at hysterectomy. This edition has been radically transformed because of the discovery of the human papilloma virus and its crucial role in cervical cancer since the first edition was published. It also covers the very recent discovery of the vaccine against HPV. It contains a number of new chapters;- Decidual ectopy of the uterine cervix- Immunochemistry and immunology of the cervix- Angiogenesis in cervical neoplasia- Cytology of normal and neoplastic cervical epithelium- Cytological screening for cervical neoplasia- The management of multi-focal precancer of the lower genital tract- Radiotherapy in the treatement of cervical cancer- The management of cervical cancer by radiotherapy and chemotherapy- Vaccines to prevent and treat HPV associated disease.
