Editorial
Author Information
Author(s): G. M. Mead
Conclusion
The book lacks cohesion and is not comprehensive, making it less valuable for specialists.
Supporting Evidence
- The book barely touches on nonepithelial cell ovarian carcinomas.
- Different specialists wrote separate chapters, leading to a lack of cohesion.
- Many treatment proposals conflict with clinical practice in the UK.
- Some chapters provide excellent overviews, like investigational techniques in ovarian cancer.
Takeaway
This book about female cancers isn't very good because it skips important topics and doesn't connect well. It's probably not worth the money.
Potential Biases
The text is uncritical and makes treatment recommendations based on inadequate data.
Limitations
The book is patchy and relies too much on ASCO abstracts, which may not be reliable.
