Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological cancer management has progressed significantly in recent decades, but optimizing perioperative outcomes and improving patients' quality of life still constitutes a clinical challenge. This Special Issue, titled "Improving the Quality of Life in Patients with Gynecological Cancer", welcomes the submission of articles related to new approaches and evidence-based medicine that contribute to the optimization of the care of patients during the perioperative continuum. Research domains include the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques, ERAS, immunonutrition, pain control, and psychological interventions to optimize postoperative outcomes and limit complications. We especially welcome studies in ovarian cancer and gynecologic oncology surgeries that include multi-disciplinary care aimed toward improved clinical outcomes and quality of life. All types of original research articles, review articles, and clinical trials that focus on improving our understanding of effective perioperative care are invited, with the goal of improving treatment and enhancing the quality of life for women with gynecological malignancies.
Dr. Vasilios Pergialiotis
Guest Editor
