FOCUS ON GYNECOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES GEBUNDEN

Gynecologic malignancies  especially endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the most
important and most severely affected by obesity. This volume of Energy Balance and Cancer 
written by the world's leading experts in this field  is arranged to provide a
transdisciplinary assessment of the pertinent issues  results of relevant research on
mechanisms  and control  strategies for dealing with affected patients and improving outcomes
and future research needs. The volume comprehensively covers the epidemiology linking obesity
to endometrial and ovarian cancer as well as the public awareness of this critical problem.
Subsequent chapters explain biologic aspects of linkages between energy balance and gynecologic
malignancies. The volume further outlines strategies to disrupt the linkage between obesity and
gynecologic malignancies and concludes with a series of chapters focused on management
strategies for obese patients with gynecologic malignancies. This volume provides a valuable
resource for all physicians  scientists and other transdisciplinary investigators and
practitioners interested and involved in energy balance and cancer. It should be a particularly
useful guide to optimize outcomes for all practitioners dealing with patients with gynecologic
malignancies challenged by energy balance issues. Moreover  it should serve as a useful guide
to students and investigators interested in conducting further research on defining and
disrupting the important linkage between energy balance and gynecologic malignancies.
