Nuclear Medicine Manual on Gynaecological Cancers and Other Female Malignancies
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-05499-0 (ISBN)
This book is mainly intended for residents and young physicians in Nuclear Medicine, Oncology and Gynaecology, as well as other professionals interested in this area. It covers the application of several relevant nuclear medicine procedures for malignancies affecting the female reproductive system and the breast. To date, there has never been a nuclear medicine textbook specifically focused on this topic, which this work seeks to remedy. In recent years, certain nuclear medicine procedures have proven to be extremely valuable for the diagnosis and staging of gynaecological malignancies and breast cancer. The book provides a comprehensive and structured review of these procedures, accompanied by a summary of the respective issues, making it a valuable asset for students, instructors and practitioners alike.

She is involved in research projects concerning sentinel lymph node and PET/CT in breast and gynaecological cancer. She currently coordinates the study group of "Radioguided Surgery" of the Italian Association of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
She is author of 19 scientific papers published in international journals, first author of Italian clinical and technical guidelines for lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel node localization in gynecological cancers and author of two chapters on nuclear medicine discipline.
Sergi Vidal-Sicart is a senior consultant and Research Coordinator at the Nuclear Medicine Department of Hospital Clínic Barcelona (University Hospital) and Specialist Physician at Nuclear Medicine Department of Parc de Salut Mar (University Hospital del Mar). He is involved in projects concerning radioguided intervention and sentinel node biopsy using conventional tracers and hybrid approaches for radioactivity/fluorescence detection and intraoperative navigation in several malignancies. He is in charge of Nuclear Medicine aspects concerning breast cancer and melanoma as well as other fields like isolated limb perfusion and radioembolization. He is a founding member of the International Sentinel Node Society and member of the editorial boards of the Spanish Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging and BMC Cancer. Also, he is the former president of the Task Group of Radioguided Surgery within the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. He is the director of the biannual course concerning radioguided surgery which is held in Barcelona and is considered a basic course for Spanish nuclear medicine residents.
Renato Alfredo Valdés Olmos is a former nuclear medicine consultant at the Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (NKI-AVL). Currently, he is a clinical researcher and consultant at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). He has been involved in projects concerning image guided intervention and sentinel node biopsy using hybrid approaches for radioactivity/fluorescence detection and intraoperative navigation in various malignancies as well as in molecular imaging and biopsy of breast cancer resulting in more than three-hundred PubMed indexed publications and numerous PhD theses. Former member of the editorial board of the European Journal Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, he is member of the editorial board of the Spanish Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging and also editor-in-chief of the Dutch Journal of Nuclear Medicine. He is a founding member of the International Sentinel Node Society and currently member of its board. Following participation as expert in training initiatives organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), he has been one of the initiators of the European network RADIOguide for training and research on radioguided intervention. He is currently involved in the fused radiology/nuclear medicine resident training at the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Hospital, Amsterdam.Introduction (General aspects and epidemiology of female malignancies).- BREAST CANCER.- VULVAR CANCER.- CERVICAL CANCER.- ENDOMETRIAL CANCER.- OVARIAN CANCER.- VAGINAL CANCER.- Index.
