Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cervical cancer remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in low-resource settings, despite advances in prevention and early detection. While HPV vaccination and screening programs have led to a decline in incidence in many parts of the world, conventional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy remain the standard of care, particularly for advanced or recurrent disease. These approaches, however, can be associated with considerable side effects and variable outcomes.
In recent years, efforts have intensified to improve current therapies and explore more targeted strategies. Immunotherapy and other emerging treatments demonstrate encouraging results, offering new options for patients with limited responses to traditional approaches or recurrent or metastatic disease. At the same time, advances in molecular profiling and non-invasive diagnostic tools are providing new possibilities for earlier detection and prognosis.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments in cervical cancer treatment and HPV management. We warmly invite authors to contribute systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and original research articles to this issue, driving progress in the management and treatment of cervical cancer.
