Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment in the 21st Century

Dear Colleagues,

Cervical cancer used to be a common, often lethal malignancy for women. In the last century, due to many revolutionary developments in research, this oncologic entity can currently be prevented, diagnosed in early stages and treated well in advanced stages.  Through systematic cytology and HPV DNA testing, cervical cancer has become very rare in high-resource countries. Detection and staging through high-resolution imaging and the most recent generation of contrast dye and tracers, robotic and laparoscopic surgery, image-guided radiation therapy, chemotherapy combined with targeted agents or immune therapy improve the outcome of this cancer tremendously. The development of the anti-HPV vaccine raises hope that by 2050 this cancer type will become history.

This Special Issue will address the latest developments in the screening and contemporary treatment of cervical cancer.
