The revised 5th edition of the SGO Staging of Gynecologic Malignancies Handbook aims to serve as a quick reference guide for practicing gynecologic oncologists, fellows, residents, advanced practice providers (APPs), and pathologists, both domestically and internationally, who are involved in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies.

The handbook contains the most up-to-date staging systems in gynecologic oncology. Each of the topics is presented with a discussion of the background with rationale for the staging system, a notation of any recent staging changes, comments concerning the usefulness and validity of the staging system, areas of controversy, and future study.

Topics:

• Carcinoma of the Cervix
• Carcinoma of the Endometrium Including Carcinosarcoma
• Sarcomas of the Uterus
• Carcinoma of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneum
• Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
• Carcinoma of the Vagina
• Carcinoma of the Vulva
• Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Vulva
