Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This second part Special Issue of Cancers considers as the previous the quick and continous evolution of radiation oncology in the gynaecological tumour sites of endometrial, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers. Considering the variety of continuous advances achieved in the last decade, radiotherapy in gynaecological cancer has become increasingly well established and there has been an increase in cancer treatment results. At present, new indications and new techniques to be employed in this scenario are evolving include intensity-modulated radiotherapy, image-guided external beam irradiation, image-guided brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation and intraoperative radiotherapy between others. Recently, tumour markers have been related to radiotherapy indications, leading omics-based and other adjuvant treatments to now be in the pipeline. The inclusion of immunotherapy associate to surgery and radiotherapy is being considered at present to increase treatment the results. Finaly, artificial intelligence is currently being developed for future use in this field in different aspects.
This is a promising Special Issue that aims to establish the state of the art in the radiotherapy of gynaecological cancers via reviews or research articles developed by radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and medical physicists, and surgeons with a view into the future. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue look forward to receiving your contributions.
