Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of a previous issue on the topic of “Pathology of Gynecological Cancers” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/2NYT966357).
The wide spectrum of gynecologic cancers and precursor lesions makes the diagnosis of some cases a challenge in daily practice. For a form of rare gynecologic cancer, the challenge is even greater. The field is advancing with new innovations, classifications, and the introduction of prognostic and predictive markers, which necessitate more publications, review articles, case series, etc., to emphasize the up-to-date information. This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality, up-to-date information about gynecologic cancers and precursor lesions with an emphasis on molecular and immunohistochemical profiling, especially for uncommon and rare entities. The titles will cover the following: (1) vulvar lesions, which include, but are not limited to, soft tissue neoplasia, adenoid cystic and adenoid basal carcinomas; (2) cervical lesions, including neuroendocrine tumors, gastric-type adenocarcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma; (3) endometrial lesions, including mesenchymal tumors, serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma; (4) adnexal lesions, including Wolffian-origin female adnexal tumors, serous intraepithelial carcinoma, other precursor lesions, mucinous and seromucinous carcinomas, germ cell tumors, and sex cord stromal tumors; and (5) gestational tumors, including molar pregnancy, placental site trophoblastic tumors, epithelioid trophoblastic tumors, and choriocarcinoma.
