Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer, meaning uncontrolled growth of malignant cells, remains the disease of this century. Cancer is not a single disease; at present, the term comprises over 200 diseases with some common characteristics including uncontrolled growth and metastasis.
Gynecologic cancer comprises a group of cancers that affect tissue and organs of the female reproductive system. These include:
- Cervical cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Uterine cancer
- Vaginal cancer
- Vulvar cancer
The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss latest research and developments in the use of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of gynecological cancer, including drug design, development, and therapy. Treatment of ovarian cancer, in particular, remains a major challenge as resistant forms of cancer often develop.
