Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women.
Multidisciplinary treatments such as surgery (open or minimally invasive surgery), radiotherapy, molecular-targeted drugs, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are in clinical use and at various stages of preclinical and clinical development.
MIS, in particular, is the preferred approach; however, recent data on cervical cancer surgery (LACC trial) require a thorough reassessment.
Papers focusing on histopathology examination techniques, validation of diagnostic tools, the development of innovative materials and therapies, gene therapy, and descriptions of new surgical approaches are also welcome.
