Colposcopy and Treatment of Cervical Precancer [OP]


Book Description

This colposcopy manual was developed in the context of the cervical cancer screening research studies of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the related technical support provided to national programs. It is thus a highly comprehensive manual, both for the training of new colposcopists and for the continuing education and reorientation of those who are more experienced. This manual offers a valuable learning resource, incorporating recent developments in the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), as well as in colposcopy and cervical pathology. Expertise in performing satisfactory, safe, and accurate colposcopic examinations requires high competence in the technical, interpretive, and cognitive aspects, and the capability to develop pragmatic and effective management plans and treatment. This comprehensive and concise manual covers all these aspects and serves as a useful handbook for acquiring the necessary skills for the visual recognition and interpretation of colposcopic findings and for developing the personal and professional attributes required for competence in colposcopy.




Lower Genital Tract Precancer


Book Description

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.




Colposcopy and Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia


Book Description

For many women in developing countries, such as sub-Saharan Africa, south and south-east Asia, and central and south America, there is a high risk of cervical cancer, but a lack of effective programmes to detect and treat such a problem. This introductory manual is intended to simply the learning of colposcopy (a diagnostic and evaluation method for cervical intraepithelia neoplasia, or cervical cancer).




Atlas of Colposcopy for Practice and Teaching


Book Description

Colposcopy has contributed significantly to knowledge about cervical cancer. Developed in Germany by Hans Hinselmann, it plays a significant role in the identification, early detection and treatment of cervical cancer. Dr Seidl is a pioneer of colposcopy and recognised early on the typical changes in the external and internal cervix over the course of a woman’s life and the colposcopic equivalents of the precursors of cervical carcinoma. As a gynaecologist (and pathologist), Dr Seidl has taken up the cause of early diagnosis of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. He is considered a protagonist of colposcopy in post-war Germany due to his experience in 60 years of work with many publications and further training at home and abroad (introduction of colposcopy in Africa). Dr. Seidl has made his extensive training material available to interested doctors in a special and unique form in the form of a colposcopy atlas: - For doctors who want to familiarise themselves with colposcopy for their practice. - For doctors who want to use the didactic teaching material, arranged according to the new nomenclature (Rio 2014), for their own further training. He has revised this book – now in its 4th edition with his co-author Dr Kossagk from AGCPC.de – in memory of his famous predecessors in German-speaking countries, such as Hinselmann, Ganse, Mestwerdt (Germany), Wespi (Switzerland) and Burghrdt (Austria) and in appreciation of this original German diagnostic method, and has added several innovations. For example, the photo and video material can now also be accessed online in streaming mode. The DVD originally used for this purpose has been abolished. In addition, new chapters have been included, with the chapters on peniscopy and mammilloscopy in particular falling outside the scope of a usual colposcopy book. The book is unique among colposcopy publications worldwide, as it covers the entire spectrum of gynaecological diagnostics with over 900 colour colposcopic illustrations and therapeutic video sequences. In addition to chapters on findings of the portio, vagina and vulva, new chapters such as functional colposcopy, mamilloscopy and peniscopy are presented in a thoroughly edited form. Of course, colposcopy is emphasised as playing an essential role in the early diagnosis of carcinoma and preliminary stages (dysplasias) in the genital area, with the difficult modern differential diagnosis facilitating the evaluation of findings. An important chapter is the colposcopic observation of the course of the disease, which often leads to a definitive diagnosis! In addition to these important tasks, there is – especially for doctors in practice – a broad diagnostic field in the context of the various inflammations (STD) and functional hormone-related changes in the genital area. A chapter on changes in the nipple highlights Paget’s disease and justifies the use of colposcopy. The new chapter on peniscopy is the first colposcopy book to discuss the role of men in sexually transmitted HPV infections and to propose modern early diagnosis (secondary prophylaxis). These statements are supported by years of experience in examinations of men and by convincing colposcopic images of carcinomas and its precursors.
