This is an advanced clinical reference on the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment of uterine fibroids. The pathogenesis section focuses on the current understanding of the biological basis of fibroid development. The chapters on clinical aspects cover epidemiology, assessment and clinicopathological features. The main focus of the book is on the contemporary management of fibroids, which has undergone a revolution during the past decade with a better understanding of the impact on fertility and technical advances in endoscopic surgery, radiologic embolization and pharmaceutical alternatives such as GnRH-superagonists and progesterone intrauterine devices.
