Gynaecological Cancer and Surgery: Current Practice, Novel Technologies and Future Developments

Dear Colleagues,

Gynaecological oncology is currently an internationally recognised sub-specialty in the field of cancer care. It has made tremendous advances in cancer treatment, with improvements in overall survival and progression-free rates with all types of gynaecological cancer. Surgery is the cornerstone of treating women diagnosed with gynaecological malignancies. This Special Issue is therefore inviting articles evaluating novel surgical techniques, as well as benefits and risks of all four surgical approaches: radical multivisceral, minimal-access, exenterative and vulvovaginal. Attention will also be paid to fertility-sparing and palliative surgery.

For the field of gynaecological oncology to continue to be at the forefront of cancer care and ensure continuation of discovery of new ideas, a cross-fertilisation between medicine and non-medical fields is paramount. This will enable multiple interactions between different disciplines, which, following reflection and evolution, can be beneficial in various contexts.

Therefore, this Special Issue will also aim to highlight the current ‘state of the art’ management of gynaecological cancer, with a particular focus on advances in non-surgical therapies, diagnostic modalities and future technologies. Submission of manuscripts which help to understand, or aim to eliminate health disparities, differences in health status, or access to healthcare are encouraged.
