Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancers of the female genital organs are known explicitly as gynecological cancers, including tubo-ovarian cancer, uterine and cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer.
The optimal screening methods for gynecologic cancers are still being investigated. Cervical cancer is the only gynecologic malignancy for which a screening modality is widely accepted and recommended to all women. Surgery is the primary treatment for several gynecological cancer patients. However, further treatment (adjuvant therapy and/or maintenance therapy) is required in some patients. Additionally, in patients with advanced or recurrent diseases, the outcome may be disappointing.
This Special Issue will publish reviews and original papers on detection, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gynecologic malignancies. Therefore, gynecologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and research scientists with a special interest in gynecological oncology are invited to submit manuscripts for publication in this Special Issue.
Dr. Simone Ferrero
Guest Editor
