Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Uterine sarcoma is a rare but aggressive disease that is frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively and presents controversy with respect to its management mainly due to a lack of strong evidence and lack of experience among practitioners in treatment centers.
Most patients suffering from uterine sarcomas arrive at the operating room with a diagnosis of fibroids; hence, intraoperative management may not be the most appropriate factor impacting the prognosis of the disease.
The main treatment in the disease’s initial stages seems to be complete surgical resection, while the roles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain very controversial. However, the treatment for advanced cases after surgery (when possible) is chemotherapy, although an optimal regimen has not been completely established.
This Special Issue aims to collect scientific evidence on the preoperative diagnosis of this disease, thereby helping surgeons approach surgical resection appropriately. In addition, it will attempt to clarify the role of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the disease’s early and advanced stages according to the current knowledge.
