Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence is rapidly rising, especially in high- and middle-income countries. Over 400,000 cases were diagnosed globally in 2022, ranking EC at 15th amongst all cancers. At the same time, more than 300,000 patients are surviving EC annually, since mortality has steadily been decreasing for decades where access to healthcare is available. A substantial amount of new evidence is gradually altering the landscape in the management of EC. The addition of novel systemic treatments have recently proven their survival benefit in specific subtypes of advanced and recurrent disease, where prognosis used to be dismal. While the efficacy of multiple modes of cancer treatments is the main focus of research, the overall and mainly long-term impact of these treatments in patients’ quality of life is usually neglected. With an expected increasing number of EC survivors and available combinations of treatment options, research should focus on producing evidence which promotes patient quality of life.
In this Special Issue, we invite research articles and reviews on the essential elements required to promote quality of life throughout the EC patients’ journey.
