Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy, with an increasing incidence, particularly in postmenopausal women. Advances in this disease's diagnostic and surgical management are crucial to improving outcomes while minimizing the impact on patients’ quality of life. This Special Issue on “Endometrial Cancer—Diagnosis and Treatment” focuses on the gynecological aspects of managing the disease, particularly early-stage diagnosis and innovative surgical techniques. Integrating the new molecular classification of endometrial cancer, which categorizes tumors based on genetic alterations, significantly improves tailoring treatment strategies and predicting prognosis.
A key focus will be sentinel lymph node mapping, which has become essential in accurately staging early-stage disease and minimizing lymphadenectomy-related complications. Additionally, this issue will address the importance of identifying hereditary genetic syndromes, such as Lynch syndrome, which predispose women to developing endometrial cancer at an early age. Contributions related to the latest diagnostic tools, including advanced imaging, molecular markers, and minimally invasive surgical techniques, are encouraged. This issue aims to provide a comprehensive, gynecologically focused approach to the management of endometrial cancer, with an emphasis on early detection and personalized care.
