Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecologic oncology is undergoing a remarkable transformation, fueled by advances in diagnostic imaging, molecular biology, and biomarker research. Early and accurate diagnosis remains fundamental to improving outcomes in patients with malignancies of the female reproductive tract, including cervical, endometrial, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.
Despite recent progress, significant challenges remain—such as differentiating benign from malignant lesions, refining staging procedures, and incorporating molecular diagnostics into routine clinical practice.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances and future perspectives in the diagnostic landscape of gynecologic cancers. We welcome submissions that focus on both established and emerging diagnostic tools—such as advanced imaging, novel pathology techniques, genomic and epigenomic profiling, and AI-assisted diagnostics—and how they contribute to earlier detection, more accurate staging, and personalized therapeutic decision-making.
We invite original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that investigate diagnostic innovations across the spectrum of gynecologic malignancies. Our goal is to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that promotes more efficient, accurate, and individualized approaches in gynecologic cancer diagnosis.
