Features: The author, through reading and summarizing a large volume of relevant domestic and international literature in recent years, focuses on discussing the new viewpoints and advancements in etiology and epidemiology, pathogenesis and biological behavior characteristics of common gynecological malignant tumors such as ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer. Detailed explanations are provided on the mechanisms of multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer and the resistance mechanisms of commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs, along with evaluations of their reversal methods. The research progress, preclinical and some clinical application efficacies of biological therapies such as gene therapy and immunotherapy in common tumors like ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer are also evaluated. Additionally, the author provides a systematic introduction to commonly used methods in gynecological tumor research, including newly emerging techniques such as gene chips, differential display technology, and fluorescent quantitative PCR. This serves as a practical tool for clinical and scientific researchers in gynecological tumors, especially for graduate students in medical schools.
