Cervical cancer starts in a woman's cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus. It is the second most common cancer in the world. Because it develops slowly, regular Pap test screenings can help doctors detect the disease early, when it is most easily treated. Although infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) correlates strongly with cervical cancer, there are many factors that contribute to its development. This concise volume explains the causes, symptoms, progress, and treatment of cervical cancer.
The 5th edition of this indispensable resource continues to provide you with the most up-to-date and clinically pertinent information in an understandable and easy-to-use outline format. Organized by body system, it offers a fresh perspective on many small animal diseases and disorders and emphasizes practical and applicable methods of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.
This alphabetically arranged volume presents agents of infectious diseases, the illnesses themselves, associations affiliated with prevention and study of diseases, and explanations of the drugs used to treat the conditions. The explanations are clear and informative and include sufficient cross-references.
