Description
The extraordinary progress in reproductive medicine which has taken place over the last two decades, and the new developments envisaged
for the first decade of the 21st century, are discussed in this comprehensive new volume due to be published in the Excerpta Medica International
Congress Series.
Particularly innovative basic and clinical research in conception, contraception, assisted reproduction, the menopause
and the andropause is covered. Key features include Andrew Schally's review of LHRH analogues and antagonists, and an investigation of
a new alternative to hormone replacement therapy. This book is perfect for gynecologists, andrologists, urologists and other professionals
with an interest in the state of the art in reproductive medicine.
Audience
