Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynaeco-oncology is a dynamic field where constant updates and the understanding of new criticalities strengthen recommendations in clinical practice. As gynaecologic malignancies are varied and include some of the most common cancers, vaccination and early treatment may prevent and cure many HPV-mediated cancers. More conventional “pillars” of treatment include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, depending on a neoplasm’s stage and severity. Nevertheless, we emphasise the importance of considering new tailored approaches, such as the use of aptamers in gynaecological cancers, microbiota in therapeutic modulation, perineurial invasion, PDL-1 expression, and ground-breaking imaging methods that allow for precise staging. Progress from this perspective indicates the importance of a high response rate and the wider implementation of conservative surgical treatment, allowing for the early identification of oncological disease. Today, the scientific community enjoys a vast wealth of evidence that has led to improvement in clinical practice. As such, this Special Issue seeks to collect new scientific evidence in the field of cervical and vulvar cancers. Thus, researchers are welcome to submit case reports, original publications, reviews, and meta-analyses.
