Gynecologic tumors are a serious public health problem due to associations with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In recent years, a multidisciplinary integrative approach has enabled significant progress in this field, which has led to a better understanding of molecular mechanisms and advanced diagnostic methods, facilitating the implementation of targeted therapies. Although oncologic medicine is becoming increasingly personalized, several knowledge gaps and unsolved problems remain. Thus, future scientific research should offer new perspectives to better decipher the biology of tumor processes, early diagnosis criteria, and therapeutic strategies to improve prognoses.
In this Special Issue, through the lens of the latest medical research, I aim to highlight the continuously growing role of the integrative approach to the management of gynecologic tumors regarding intervention in biomolecular mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic strategies.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
