"Contemporary Issues in Women's Cancers addresses the incidence, prevalence, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers specific to women. This new resource provides nurses with a comprehensive, up-to-date reference that will enhance their clinical practice and help them treat their patients within the changing healthcare system in the United States, and amidst the dynamic landscape of cancer diagnosis and treatment." "Expert authors, all members of SGNO, offer their knowledge in exploring the psychological issues associated with having cancer, and offer insight and resources to the individuals and families facing this disease. Contemporary Issues in Women's Cancers provides an overview of topics such as cultural aspects of women's cancers, epithelial ovarian cancer, invasive cervical cancer, and issues in survivorship such as genetics, sexuality and fertility, and the impact of cancer on the family."--BOOK JACKET |
