Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consolidate contemporary knowledge, disseminate innovative methodologies, and foster interdisciplinary research aimed at the prevention of gynecological neoplasms. Gynecological cancers represent a significant global health challenge for women. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, prevention remains pivotal in combating these malignancies. The imperative to prevent gynecological tumors arises from their substantial incidence and mortality rates, positioning these cancers as a major global health concern. Many gynecological cancers are preventable through interventions such as early screening and vaccination, underscoring the critical role of prevention in mitigating the burden of these diseases. These malignancies profoundly affect women's health, exacerbate healthcare disparities, and impose considerable economic and societal costs.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute your original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue, which focuses on advancing the prevention of gynecological tumors through innovative strategies, interdisciplinary research, and the consolidation of contemporary knowledge.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Epidemiology of gynecological cancers;
  • Preventive screening programs;
  • Vaccination strategies;
  • Molecular and genetic risk factors;
  • Public health initiatives;
  • Socioeconomic and healthcare disparities;
  • Innovative preventive interventions;
  • Interdisciplinary approaches;
  • Economic impact studies;
  • Educational and awareness programs.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
