Worldwide, Ovarian carcinoma continues to be responsible for more deaths than all other gynecologic malignancies combined. International leaders in the field address the critical biologic and basic science issues relevant to the disease. The book details the molecular biological aspects of ovarian cancer. It provides molecular biology techniques of understanding this cancer. The techniques are designed to determine tumor genetics, expression, and protein function, and to elucidate the genetic mechanisms by which gene and immunotherapies may be perfected. It provides an analysis of current research into aspects of malignant transformation, growth control, and metastasis. A comprehensive spectrum of topics is covered providing up to date information on scientific discoveries and management considerations.

Cervical Cancer is one of the leading cancers among women, especially in developing countries. Prevention and control are the most important public health strategies. Empowerment of women, education, "earlier" screening by affordable technologies like visual inspection, and treatment of precancers by cryotherapy/ LEEP are the most promising interventions to reduce the burden of cervical cancer.Dr Rajamanickam Rajkumar had the privilege of establishing a rural population based cancer registry in South India in 1996, as well as planning and implementing a large scale screening program for cervical cancer in 2000. The program was able to show a reduction in the incidence rate of cervical cancer by 25%, and reduction in mortality rate by 35%. This was the greatest inspiration for him to work on cerrvical cancer prevention, and he edited this book to inspire others to initiate such programs in developing countries. InTech - Open Access Publisher plays a major role in this crusade against cancer, and the authors have contributed to it very well.

Major advances have recently been made in our understanding of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) These include improving classification, recognizing primary and secondary risk factors, manipulating and monitoring ovarian stimulation, handling risky situations, and elucidating the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of the syndrome. As such, all health care professionals working in reproductive medicine should be acquainted with the theoretical and practical aspects of how to deal with this syndrome, both from a prophylactic point of view and once it has developed.

Medical problems in pregnancy are responsible for much maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This book is a collection of exam questions and case studies which illustrates both common and more unusual problems in obstetric medicine. Using a problem–based approach to both teach and test knowledge, it incorporates many different approaches to obstetric medicine, in Q & A format. The ‘Extended Matched Questions’ section covers the breadth of theoretical knowledge. The ‘Short Answers / Data Interpretation’ section requires a systematic approach to a clinical problem. Most of the case reports are based on real cases and all are accompanied by a brief literature review to further broaden the learning experience. This book is a valuable learning and exam preparation guide which enables trainees and consultants to test themselves using the different methods, as well as read about medical problems in pregnancy they may not yet have encountered.
