Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological diseases represent a diverse spectrum of benign and malignant conditions that profoundly impact women’s health and quality of life across all stages of life. In recent years, rapid advances in imaging technologies, molecular diagnostics, biomarker discovery, and minimally invasive techniques have been reshaping and rapidly transforming the diagnostic landscape—facilitating earlier detection, more precise disease characterization, and individualized treatment planning.
Pathology remains the cornerstone of diagnosis, providing definitive confirmation, grading, and staging of gynecologic diseases. The integration of advanced histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular pathology with modern imaging and laboratory tools is enabling more accurate disease classification and guiding tailored therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue, Precision Diagnostics in Gynecologic Health and Disease, aims to showcase recent progress and innovative strategies in diagnosing a wide range of conditions—from prevalent disorders such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome to rare malignancies and complex congenital anomalies. We invite and welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and illustrative case reports that present novel diagnostic approaches, interdisciplinary methodologies, and the integration of artificial intelligence, omics platforms, advanced imaging, and pathology into clinical practice.
By bringing together state-of-the-art research and expert perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of gynecological disease mechanisms, enhance diagnostic precision, refine diagnostic accuracy and ultimately improve patient care and outcomes on a global scale.
