Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers, account for approximately 100,000 new cases and over 30,000 deaths per year in the US. Surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of most gynecologic malignancies. Although expect numbers of surgical procedures for gynecologic cancers is not known, hysterectomy is the second most common surgical procedure performed in the US. Understanding perioperative management, changes in surgical treatment and impact of postoperative outcomes is key to providing high quality care for these patients. This special issue will explore changes in surgical treatment, preoperative optimization, best practices and quality improvement initiatives for understanding and improving care for patients with gynecologic malignancies.
