Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of gynecological cancers is transitioning away from standardized treatment towards a more holistic and individualized management of patients and cancer. Individual patient factors such as comorbidities, body mass index, fitness and other lifestyle factors are being increasingly recognized as modifiable factors that can improve patient outcomes. Innovative initiatives such as prehabilitation, enhanced recovery and survivorship care are gaining increasing traction within gynecological oncology. In addition, continuous efforts are being made to minimize treatment morbidity and long-term sequalae of survivors through decreasing the radicality of surgery, advances in radiation delivery and new systemic treatment options.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions that contain original research focusing on improving the personalization of gynecological cancer treatment across surgical, medical and clinical oncology fields, as well as studies that focus on improving long-term survival outcomes and the quality of life of gynecological cancer survivors.
The Guest Editors of this Special Issue look forward to receiving your contributions.
