The authors come from a broad geographic spread including the UK, mainland Europe and North America to ensure a worldwide relevance.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The risk of cancer increases with age and the number of older adults seeking treatment is rising dramatically in line with the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that of younger adults because of variation in the biology of the tumor, age-related variation in host physiology, co-morbidity burden and psychosocial issues, which might impact the efficacy and side effects of cancer therapy.</p> <p><i>Management of Gynecological Cancers in Older Women</i> focuses on treatment strategies of gynecological cancers and provides guidance on the issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the care of older women, therapeutics, and psychosocial considerations. This book offers a thorough review of current approaches to treating older gynecological cancer patients, detailing the special issues and considerations involved. The discipline-spanning coverage outlines best practice and proposes topics for future research.</p> <p>The second volume in the <i>Management of Cancer in Older People</i> series<i>, </i> this book will be of interest to all surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, gerontologists, gynecologists and other members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the care of elderly gynecological cancer patients.</p>
