Cancer of the Ovary

Ovarian cancer is the most common and lethal gynecological
malignancy, partly because the majority of patients present with
advanced disease. Nevertheless, the management of patients with
ovarian neoplasms has changed substantially in recent years, with
improved survival due to better screening strategies, major advances
in chemotherapy and the constantly evolving role of surgery. Optimal
patient care is best achieved by a multidisciplinary team, with
imaging playing a pivotal role. The explosion of technological
developments in imaging in recent years has meant that all members of
the team should understand the potential applications, limitations
and advantages of evolving imaging techniques. Each volume in
Contemporary Issues in Cancer Imaging - A Multidisciplinary Approach
is edited by an expert guest editor with contributions from all
members of the multidisciplinary team, thus bringing together
expertise from many specialties to promote the understanding and
application of modern imaging in overall patient management.
