Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “Laparoscopy and Surgery in Gynecologic Oncology: 2nd Edition”. We are launching this Special Issue following the success of the first edition, in which we published four papers. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/A86WV0JUIU.
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique, has attracted significant attention in the field of gynecologic oncology. However, recent evidence has proven that it may be associated with increased oncological risk in a selected patient group. These results have raised many questions that need to be investigated by the scientific community. The place of laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology is rapidly evolving due to the obtainment of new scientific data. We invite you to submit recent work on the following topics to our Special Issue:
- Diagnosis: Laparoscopy is employed for the diagnosis of various gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers.
- Staging: Laparoscopy facilitates the staging of gynecologic malignancies by enabling the confirmation of the extent of tumor spread within the abdomen and pelvis.
- Surgical treatment: Laparoscopy is increasingly used for the surgical management of gynecologic cancers, including primary or secondary tumor debulking, hysterectomy, lymph node dissection, and the en bloc removal of affected tissue.
- Palliative care: In cases where curative treatment is not possible, laparoscopy and associated procedures can be used in palliative procedures to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with advanced gynecologic cancers.
- Fertility preservation: Laparoscopy can be utilized for fertility-sparing procedures in young patients with early-stage gynecologic malignancies.
Despite its benefits, the use of laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology may be limited in certain cases. Close monitoring and specialized training are essential in ensuring that laparoscopic procedures are performed effectively and with minimal risk to the patient.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.
Best regards,
Dr. Zoltan Novak
Guest Editor
