Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ovarian cancer treatment has been rapidly evolving over the last few years. Newer technologies and techniques, such as hyperthermic intra peritoneal chemotherapy (CHIP), are being increasingly used and have become part of the surgical armamentarium. Moreover, new systemic treatments, such as olaparib, have resulted in greatly increased survival for patients with mutated BRCA. Lastly, new approaches using immunotherapy are now being evaluated in randomized trials while preclinical studies are providing new rationales for future treatments. This Special Issue aims to serve as a forum for critically addressing how recent technological developments have impacted the outcomes of ovarian cancer treatment in surgery and medical treatment. Manuscripts are invited which critically assess the role of surgery, systemic treatment, and personalized medicine. Preclinical studies are also of interest. Priority is given to high-quality, original studies that are well-designed in addition to systematic reviews (with or without metanalysis) that give a concise and exhaustive view of the state-of-the-art on the relevant topics. In summary, this Special Issue aims to increase awareness of poorly explored areas of ovarian cancer treatment as well as to provide a balanced, sound, and evidence-based overview of the advances and potential perspectives in the field.
