UPDATE - 12/21/04
Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in the African country.
As colposcopy is an invaluable tool in managing carcinoma of the uterine cervix, it was felt appropriate to provide some African countries with 100 copies of the recently published EAGC Course Book on Colposcopy published by the European Academy of Gynaecological Cancer (EAGC) for educational purposes in order to improve care of women with gynecologic malignancies. This is part of the worldwide fight against cancer of the lower genital tract lead by the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy, IFCPC. (See attached letter by Howard W. Jones III MD.)

The following countries have received the books, which was highly appreciated: Algeria 16 copies; Egypt 24 copies; Morocco 8 copies; Namibia 7 copies; Uganda 5 copies; Libya 6 copies; Nigeria 16 copies; Tunisia 8 copies; Benin 3 copies; South Africa 8 copies.

          Lower Genital Tract precancer: Colposcopy, Pathology and Treatment

Albert Singer and John M. Monaghan
Assistant Author: Swee Chong Quek

344 pages, 780 illustrations, Blackwell Science, 2000

The new second edition of this highly-acclaimed text has been extensively revised and expanded to provide a definitive and contemporary reference on the subject for the gynaecologist (both in practice and in training), the pathologist, venereologist and related health care professional. Providing a comprehensive examination of the applications and benefits of modern diagnostic and therapeutic practices in managing lesions of the female lower genital tract, the book is presented in a clear, easy-to read style and is supported by over 780 superb full-colour photographs and line drawings. The text covers investigative procedures and techniques, reviews the normal and abnormal cervix and fully appraises the diagnosis and management of both benign and malignant lesions.
Vaginal, vulvular and perianal premalignant diseases are discussed, and a separate section is devoted to those conditions which mimic, and can thus be confused with, precancer. A new section on AIDS has been included and an entire chapter on pathology and exfoliative cytology is also incorporated.
Lower Genital Tract Precancer: Colposcopy, Pathology and Treatment is much more than simply a colposcopic atlas – it is a comprehensive and definitive statement of the wide range of skills needed to diagnose and manage any, and all, of the precancerous conditions and those which may mimic them.
 
 

Patologia y tratamiento del tracto genital inferior
Giuseppe De Palo, William Chanen, Santiago Dexeus.
306 pages, 123 full colour photographs, 48 drawings, 1071 references.
Masson Ed., Barcelona 2000.
This book in Spanish language is directed towards those physicians in office or hospital practice, in order to assist in the diagnosis, classification, treatment and management of disorders of the lower female genital tract.
The entire spectrum of these conditions is described with the clinical and histological findings together with macroscopic, colposcopic or vulvoscopic full-colour illustrations documenting the appearances of each lesion. 
In recent years, the explosion in knowledge of the  pathology of the lower genital tract has been enormous and continues to grow. That is why many excellent atlases and texts on colposcopy, cervical pathology, vulvar disease and intraepithelial neoplasia of the lower genital tract have been written and rewritten.
Therefore why the need for this publication? The answer lies in the fact that this book is an attempt to gather into the one volume cervical, vulvar and vaginal disease, the entire pathology of the lower genital tract. Its purpose is to provide a ready access to a clinically orientated atlas and a text with an updated source of bibliography, practical information with guidelines of management required by those who care for women with these problems.
The text has been divided into three sections according to anatomical distribution of the lesions viz. cervix, vagina and vulva.  References are provided either in the text or in the extensive list annotated at the end of each section. Since bibliography is so comprehensive, when a review on a specific subject exists, this has been cited without listing specific names. The authors apologise if some authorities have not been specifically mentioned.
There is the expectation that after reading this monograph, the varying lesions of the cervix, vagina and vulva will be readily recognized, evaluated and treated with both confidence and expertise.
From preface of the authors.
