Diagnostic Progress in Gynecologic Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

Gynecologic oncology is undergoing a remarkable transformation, fueled by advances in diagnostic imaging, molecular biology, and biomarker research. Early and accurate diagnosis remains fundamental to improving outcomes in patients with malignancies of the female reproductive tract, including cervical, endometrial, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.

Despite recent progress, significant challenges remain—such as differentiating benign from malignant lesions, refining staging procedures, and incorporating molecular diagnostics into routine clinical practice.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances and future perspectives in the diagnostic landscape of gynecologic cancers. We welcome submissions that focus on both established and emerging diagnostic tools—such as advanced imaging, novel pathology techniques, genomic and epigenomic profiling, and AI-assisted diagnostics—and how they contribute to earlier detection, more accurate staging, and personalized therapeutic decision-making.

We invite original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that investigate diagnostic innovations across the spectrum of gynecologic malignancies. Our goal is to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that promotes more efficient, accurate, and individualized approaches in gynecologic cancer diagnosis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
