Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological cancer (comprised of ovarian/fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, endometrial, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers) are distinct in their origin and etiology. Nonetheless, surgery coupled with chemo/radiation therapy has long been the standard of care and has yielded little patient benefit. Therefore, there is a need to understand these diseases better and identify novel approaches to targeting gynecological cancer.
While biologicals targeting angiogenesis, DNA repair and immunotherapy have shown promise in clinical studies, the metabolic targeting of gynecological cancer remains less explored. The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase original research articles, reviews, perspectives, clinical trials, and short communications highlighting metabolic features of gynecological cancer, with the objective to identify potential approaches that would lead to therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue will help generate interest and provide insights into the metabolic targeting of gynecological cancers.
