Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly welcome researchers, pathologists, and medical professionals to contribute to a Special Issue of Life on gynecological and fetal pathology. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for disseminating the latest research, advances, and knowledge in the field of gynecological and fetal pathology. We welcome the submission of original research articles and reviews examining various aspects of gynecological and fetal pathologies, including diagnostic challenges, prognostic markers, new technologies, and therapeutic interventions.
Gynecological and fetal pathologies include a wide range of diseases that have a significant impact on the health and well-being of women and fetuses. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of gynecological and fetal diseases and to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals in the field. We welcome contributions on the following topics:
Gynecological malignancies:
Advances in the diagnosis, classification, and molecular profiling of gynecologic cancers such as cervical, endometrial, ovarian, vulval, and vaginal cancers. Research investigating new prognostic markers, therapeutic targets, and individualized treatment strategies is particularly encouraged.
Pathology of the placenta:
Research focused on the histological evaluation of the placenta, its role in pregnancy complications, and its association with adverse fetal outcomes. Research into placental abnormalities such as placental insufficiency, placental abruption, and gestational trophoblastic disease to contribute to a better understanding of maternal and fetal health.
Fetal and neonatal pathologies:
Studies on histopathological examination of fetal and neonatal tissues to identify birth defects, genetic disorders, and perinatal infections. Research that explores the molecular basis of fetal disease and the correlation between histological findings and clinical outcomes is highly encouraged.
Diagnostic challenges and new technologies:
Articles on diagnostic challenges in gynecological and fetal pathology, including the interpretation of complex histopathological patterns, immunohistochemical and molecular studies, and integration of imaging techniques. Research into innovative technologies such as digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and next-generation sequencing is of great interest.
We invite researchers from various fields, including pathology, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, genetics, and maternal and child medicine, to contribute valuable research to this Special Issue. Together, we can advance the understanding and treatment of gynecological and fetal diseases, ultimately improving the health of women and fetuses.
