The Encyclopedia of Women's Reproductive Cancer

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer occurring among women in the United States. There are no proven methods of prevention, and it can be a rapidly fatal disease, mainly because it often remains undetected until the cancer has reached an advanced state. The Encyclopedia of Women's Reproductive Cancer covers this and other various forms of cancer known to attack the female reproductive system. More than 400 detailed entries discuss ovarian cancer, Fallopian tube cancer, uterine cancer, and endometrial cancer, among others, and discuss statistics, prevention, symptoms, causes, treatments, and much more.
