The second edition of Principles and Practice of Colposcopy provides an up-to-date explanation of the emerging technologies currently being used to help diagnose pre-invasive and early invasive cancers of the female lower genital tract. Beginning with the basic principles of colposcopy, the text describes technique and interpretation; illustrating both normal and abnormal results; potential pitfalls and errors. Three new chapters are included in the second edition – grey areas in colposcopy, immunocytochemistry for proliferative markers and new technologies, and reprocessing and cleaning in the colposcopy clinic.
