Features: Gynecological tumors are unique to women and include neoplasms in various parts such as the ovaries, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. They also encompass breast tumors and gestational trophoblastic diseases, covering a wide range. With the advancement of medical science, many of these tumors can now be diagnosed and treated early, leading to very favorable prognoses. For example, cervical carcinoma in situ and breast cancer have excellent prognoses, and even early-stage ovarian cancer has seen significant improvements. Half a century ago, trophoblastic tumors were nearly incurable, but with the development of chemotherapy and other treatments, they are now highly treatable while preserving fertility. This book primarily introduces the anatomy and physiological functions of the female reproductive organs and summarizes basic knowledge about benign and malignant tumors of the female reproductive system and breast tumors. It includes information on current prevalence, potential causes, major symptoms, signs, and the differences between benign and malignant tumors. Additionally, it covers the latest examination methods and relevant treatment principles to serve as a reference for the general public in enhancing health awareness.
