Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of gynaecological cancers has, in recent years, seen a transformation away from universal radical extirpative surgery, non-conformal radiotherapy techniques, and a default reliance on platinum-based chemotherapy agents to a wide range of precision medical and surgical interventions, individually targeting both the patient and their cancer. Individualised treatment decisions are as important in cancer prophylaxis and detection as they are in targeting treatment based on patient preference and tumour characteristics.
From vaccination and screening for cervical dysplasia and cancer through HPV DNA and RNA techniques to informing drug therapies and prophylactic surgery in endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, genomic medicine is driving the personalisation of targeted cancer prevention and treatments. For those with advanced cancer, stratification into prehabilitation programmes prior to treatments is helping to ensure robust patient selection for the most radical or toxic of therapies.
In an effort to provide quality precision treatments in gynaecological cancer, innovation and challenges have been critical to informing larger-scale evidence. This Special Issue welcomes submissions that contain original research in the translational and clinical domains or review articles that demonstrate innovation towards the personalisation of gynaecological cancer detection, prevention, and treatment across surgical, radiation, and medical oncology fields and palliative medicine.
