Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
When approaching diagnostic pathology in gynecologic diseases, many different scenarios can be encountered: benign lesions mimick malignant ones, and vice versa; hormonal effects (either menstrual, pregnancy, or therapy-related) alter normal histology and create artifacts; systemic diseases (such as diabetes and connective tissue diseases) influence the hormonal status and affect placentation and gestation; genetic imbalance (BRCA, p53, mismatch repair protein deficiency) can cause breast, endometrial, and ovary cancer. This female “cosmos”, in which so much is interconnected and happens as a result of something else, is complex, and diagnostic challenges, tough differential diagnosis, and pitfalls are routinely encountered.
Against this background, this Special Issue focuses on different, and innovative approaches to the diagnosis, use, and application of alternative/ancillary techniques (immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and molecular biology) and methodological perspectives.
We warmly invite experts to contribute the following:
- Original research articles, also on animal models;
- Review articles/mini reviews;
- Short communications/expert points of view;
- Interesting images on rare entities.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Diagnostics.
