Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological malignancies are rather uncommon among young females (≤39 years of age according to the National Cancer Institute), with the incidence rates ranging from 1.3 to 13 per 100,000 population. Among them, germ cell tumors and cervical cancer are the most prevalent and the most lethal, respectively. Apart from their distinct epidemiological characteristics, gynecological cancers in reproductive-aged women are highly heterogeneous with regard to their biological and clinical characteristics, requiring a personalized therapeutic approach within the multidisciplinary setting.
Acknowledging not only their unique needs (i.e., oncofertility care, genetic counselling) and rather neglected challenges (i.e., psychosexual support) but also the paucity of clinical research for this specific patient population, we welcome the submission of original articles, meta-analyses, systematic and narrative reviews, as well as study protocols, that could enhance awareness among the oncology community and encourage holistic, patient-centered cancer care.
