Rare gynecological cancers kill all too commonly Gynecological cancer is a frightening prospect for women. It is terrifying also for physicians who need, but often can't find, guidance on how to investigate and appropriately treat the tumors. Rare cancers provide greater challenges as information can be harder to find and more difficult to verify. Rare Gynecologic Cancers: Diagnosis and Management brings together all you need to know on these life-threatening diseases. Straightforward summaries of pathophysiologic processes lead to the investigations that will improve your diagnostic accuracy.
