Gynaecological Cancer Care
A Guide to Practice

Ă propos de ce livre
Gynaecological cancers represent the second most common group of cancers and the most common cause of cancer death in woman, but the needs of women with gynaecological cancer are frequently unrecognised and often neglected. A diagnosis of gynaecological cancer can threaten a woman's body image, fertility, sexuality, femininity, relationships, and various roles in life. Nurses and other health professionals who care for women with gynaecological cancer require a resource that covers a range of issues in depth and breadth if they are to provide comprehensive care. This book offers a rich resource of material - presented in a stimulating style. It provides expert, practical, person-centred, evidence-based advice for nurses and other health professionals who care for women with gynaecological cancer.
