Diagnostics and Interventional Procedures in Gynecological Tumors

Dear Colleagues,

Gynecological cancers represent a heavy health, social and economic burden worldwide. They include a large compound of diseases that vary in etiology, biological behavior, and treatment. The five main types of gynecologic cancer are ovarian, uterine, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Each of them requires a multidisciplinary management and an accurate diagnostic framework, which is crucial to provide adequate treatment. Furthermore, over the years, not a single method but the combination of several techniques has been proved necessary to achieve maximum accuracy. The topics covered in this Special Issue are closely related and highly dependent on each other. The continuous technological imaging evolution provides ever more accurate clinical staging and pathologic prediction, increasing the tailoring of disease treatment and improving patient outcomes. Moreover, different imaging modalities and their combinations (i.e., fusion ultrasound) are increasingly used to guide interventional and minimally invasive procedures performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (as in interventional radiotherapy, electrochemotherapy, cryo or radioablation).

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit to this issue original articles or reviews highlighting milestones and new evidence in the gynecologic oncology field, regarding each diagnostic and interventional method and their related clinical practice algorithms and current recommendations.
