Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern. While its incidence is declining in high-income countries, primarily thanks to healthier prevention strategies, HPV vaccination, and general screening, this malignancy continues to be a major burden in low- and middle-income countries. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types is recognized as the principal etiological factor. Screening using cytology (Pap test) and HPV-DNA testing permits the early diagnosis and treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), preventing the development of invasive cancer. However, disparities in access to screening and healthcare services continue to be a critical challenge.
High-grade CIN can be efficiently managed with conservative surgical treatment, but recurrence is still observed in a subgroup of patients. Invasive cervical cancer management requires a tailored approach based on disease FIGO stage, histological subtype, and patient characteristics. While minimally invasive radical hysterectomy has been adopted for early-stage disease, concerns about oncologic outcomes have led to ongoing debate and further research.
The second volume of this Special Issue aims to provide an updated overview of current evidence regarding cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment. We welcome original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses addressing surgical techniques, diagnostic strategies, preventive interventions, and future directions in this field. It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled "Diagnosis and Treatment of Cervical Cancer: Second Edition". We published five papers in the first volume.
