Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological malignancies still represent significant health problems affecting women worldwide, especially when diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease. While, in endometrial cancer, alarming signs and symptoms, such as postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, might motivate a patient to seek medical help, in ovarian cancer the diagnosis usually occurs in advanced stages of the disease due to the fact that uncommon symptoms are present. In this respect, attention was focused on identifying new surgical procedures, new lines of targeted therapies, and genetic counseling in order to improve the long-term outcomes of these patients. Therefore, nowadays, the golden standard in such cases, consisting of debulking surgery to no residual disease, should be strongly reinforced by adding targeted therapies and genetic counseling. The aim of the current Special Issue is to highlight the surgical and oncological therapies in endometrial and ovarian cancer.
