Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, new insights, novel developments, latest discoveries, and future challenges radically changed the field of gynecologic oncology. According to the tumor origin, gynecologic malignancies are mainly classified into ovarian cancer (epithelial, germ cell tumor, sexual-stromal tumor, and others), endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer, which are recognized as global health threats for women.
In the past decades, multimodal strategies consisting of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy were the main choices for these patients with gynecologic malignancies. This research topic aims to provide updates on the newly identified molecular targets and developed therapeutic strategies for gynecological cancers, and to discuss the recent advances on the screening, diagnosis, therapies, and prognosis of gynecological cancers. We welcome submissions of articles which provide novel information in the fields encompassing, but not limited to, the identifications of cancer signaling pathways, potential therapeutic target discoveries, the development of new targeted drugs, and therapeutic strategies for gynecological cancers. The submitted articles in this research topic will help to highlight the current knowledge and trends regarding the targeted therapy of gynecological cancers.
