The new Second Edition of Lower Genital Tract Precancer has
been extensively revised and expanded to provide a definitive and
contemporary reference on this subject. Providing a comprehensive
examination of the applications and benefits of modern diagnostic
and therapeutic practices in managing lesions of the female lower
genital tract, the book is presented in a clear, easy-to-read style
and is extensively illustrated. The text covers investigative
procedures and techniques, reviews the normal and abnormal cervix
and fully appraises the diagnosis and management of both benign and
malignant lesions.
Vaginal, vulvular and perianal premalignant diseases are
discused, and a separate section is devoted to those conditions
which mimic, and can thus be confused with, precancer. A new
section on AIDS has been included and an entire chapter on
pathology is also incorporated.
