Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Gynecological malignancies still represent significant health problems affecting women worldwide, especially when diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease. While, in endometrial cancer, alarming signs and symptoms, such as postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, might motivate a patient to seek medical help, in ovarian cancer the diagnosis usually occurs in advanced stages of the disease due to the fact that uncommon symptoms are present. In this respect, attention was focused on identifying new surgical procedures, new lines of targeted therapies, and genetic counseling in order to improve the long-term outcomes of these patients. Therefore, nowadays, the golden standard in such cases, consisting of debulking surgery to no residual disease, should be strongly reinforced by adding targeted therapies and genetic counseling. The aim of the current Special Issue is to highlight the surgical and oncological therapies in endometrial and ovarian cancer.

Background: Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy via minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as the standard of care for early-stage endometrial cancer (EC). Prior systematic reviews and meta-analyses have focused on outcomes reported solely from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), overlooking valuable data from non-randomised studies. This inaugural systematic review and network meta-analysis comprehensively compares clinical and oncological outcomes between MIS and open surgery for early-stage EC, incorporating evidence from randomised and non-randomised studies. Methods: This study was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020186959). All original research of any experimental design reporting clinical and oncological outcomes of surgical treatment for endometrial cancer was included. Study selection was restricted to English-language peer-reviewed journal articles published 1 January 1995–31 December 2021. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted. Results: A total of 99 studies were included in the network meta-analysis, comprising 181,716 women and 14 outcomes. Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery demonstrated reduced blood loss and length of hospital stay but increased operating time. Compared with laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery was associated with a significant reduction in ileus (OR = 0.40, 95% CrI: 0.17–0.87) and total intra-operative complications (OR = 0.38, 95% CrI: 0.17–0.75) as well as a higher disease-free survival (OR = 2.45, 95% CrI: 1.04–6.34). Conclusions: For treating early endometrial cancer, minimal-access surgery via robotic-assisted or laparoscopic techniques appears safer and more efficacious than open surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery is associated with fewer complications and favourable oncological outcomes. Full article
