UCIrvine iMedEd iPad App Review

App Name: FIGO Staging

Price: $9.99

Brief Description:
This app describes the various gynecologic cancers, including FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) staging descriptions, histopathology, survival rates and treatment plans.

OVERALL
Pros:
This is an awesome app for a med student interested in GYN oncology or those on their third year OB/GYN rotation. The differences in the cancer stagings and the indicated therapies can be confusing and this app is a great tool to have to clear up any questions. This app also includes slides showing histopath of the
cancers, indications for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy, up to date chemotherapy schedules, and guidelines for genetic testing.

Cons:
It is a niche app for the price but if someone is interested in GYN oncology, I think it is well worth it to have this tool in the clinic.

Overall rating (Scale of 1-10, 10 is highest): 10
Recommend for medical students: Depends
