Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cervical cancer (CC) is a major public health problem, ranking as the fourth most common cause of cancer incidence and mortality in women worldwide.
The staging and management of cervical cancer have been recently updated by several international societies, namely the FIGO, ASGO, SGO, and ESGO/ESTRO/ESP. The latter produced a fairly robust document entitled “Guidelines for the management of patients with cervical cancer - Update 2023”. However, there are still many areas open for debate or re-thinking, and there are still many novelties in treatment that require further investigation. As examples, we can cite the role of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy–robotic), the treatment of bulky or locally advanced CC, the role of sentinel-node evaluation via ultra-staging, the role of chemo-radiation, the safety and efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy after definitive CTRT, and the role of immunotherapy.
We are pleased to invite you to publish your research in our Special Issue which will cover all debated topics relating to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CC, including surgical and medical therapy and the combination of both.
For this Special Issue, original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are welcome.
