About this title

Synopsis

This richly illustrated textbook and atlas brings together high-quality, colour colpophotographs that highlight all the variations seen in colposcopic practice. Its unique organisation allows readers to easily see correlations between cytology, colposcopy, and histology, just as they would need to infer when examining patients. Each chapter addresses a specific topic, from basic science to clinical colposcopy, written and edited by a well-known, recognised expert on that subject. Atlas images are incorporated into the text alongside relevant discussions, and descriptive graphics clarify topics such as low and high grade CIN, and cancer and glandular lesions. Easy-to-read bulleted information throughout the chapters emphasise key points and allow readers to quickly locate the information they need.

• Multiple authors represent a collaboration of the best and most prestigious investigators and clinicians in the field, writing on their individual areas of expertise.
  
• Many high-quality, color colpophotographs promote critical pattern recognition skills that are fundamental to clinical practice.
  
• Bullet points throughout the chapters allow readers to quickly scan the text and save time when referencing a specific topic of interest.
  
• A list of key points at the end of the chapter serves as a brief summary and review of essential information.
  
• Sample cases illustrate important concepts in a clinically relevant context.
  
• The unique layout presents colposcopy, cytology, and histology pages in a format that makes correlations easy to see and understand.
  
• Patient management is outlined in clear, unambiguous terms, including practical, evidence-based algorithms for virtually all possible scenarios.
