The first two editions of this book were published by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology
(ASCCP). This product is considered the standard of colposcopy and has the reputation of being the best selling
educational teaching module for the physician, resident, or advanced practice clinician who wishes to bridge the gap
between the obvious need for increased early detection of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease and the intensive
education required for colposcopy.
The purpose of the society and the book is to provide education about the lower genital tract through the use of
colposcopy. This includes the disciplines of pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, preventive medicine, basic research,
gynecologic oncology, and endocrinology which are relevant to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease
processes of the lower genital tract.
Features Include...
