Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, many specialists from various research areas engage in women’s health. The constant progress in the field of obstetrics and gynecology has led to the development of four distinct subspecialties, i.e., gynecologic oncology, maternal–fetal medicine, reproductive medicine (also referred to as reproductive endocrinology and infertility) and urogynecology (also referred to as female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery), along with the partially overlapping fields, which are of special interest and require continuous research. Those research areas are gynecological endoscopy (also referred to as minimally invasive gynecologic surgery), advanced gynecological and obstetrical ultrasound, mastology and breast surgery (i.e., diagnosis and treatment of breast disease, especially breast cancer), pediatric and adolescent gynecology, menopausal and geriatric gynecology, and family planning. Modern translational research and good clinical practice dictate multidisciplinary co-operation. Therefore, obstetricians and gynecologists co-operate in research and clinical practice with specialists from various other disciplines, including radiology, general and plastic surgery, anesthesiology, radiotherapy, medical oncology, pathology, molecular biology, psychiatry and psycho-oncology, and public health. Finally, women’s health also includes health issues that are common to both genders, especially cardiovascular and neurologic disease in the elderly, considered from the female perspective. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles on each and all of these areas.
