Book excerpt: In consultation with Dr. William Rayburn, Dr. Muller has put together an issue designed to educate the reader on the rapid progress in Gynecologic Cancer Care. More than any other field in obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic oncology has seen an explosion in integrated drug development and technology, including personalized medicine, germline and somatic testing, targeted therapeutics, biologic and immunotherapies, improved robotic technology, and a paradigm shift towards “less is more.
