Summary "Worldwide, after breast cancer, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer that affects women. Cervical Cancer: A Guide for Nurses is a comprehensive, practical text for clinical nurses wishing to consolidate and update their knowledge of this disease." "As well as containing essential information about the pathophysiology and treatment of cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer, this book also addresses specific nursing issues such as sexuality, fertility and symptom control. Moreover, it examines the bigger, global picture of the disease. It will be an invaluable resource for both the registered nurse with a general interest in cervical cancer and for the nurse specialist working in primary health, gynaecology, oncology and palliative care. It also provides a useful resource for allied health professionals and junior medical staff who seek further information in this area."--BOOK JACKET
