Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cervical carcinoma is a common gynecological malignancy, still representing a challenge for oncologic gynecologists around the world.
A proper and accurate preoperative staging of early-stage disease, obtained through advancements of diagnostic procedures (US, MRI, PET scan), allows personalized treatments. Modulation of surgical radicality, fertility sparing therapies, sentinel node technique, concept of ovarian preservation, introduction of translational medicine, and molecular investigations are the cornerstones of cervical cancer treatment that, in recent years, have become increasingly tailored. In this context, management of cervical cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologic gynecologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists, and pathologists. The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on new evidence regarding diagnosis and treatment of early-stage cervical cancer, which could lead to an improvement in clinical practice or could set up new research frontiers in the management of this disease.
