This is a continuation of the Research Topic on "
Tailoring Treatment in Invasive and Non-Invasive Cervical Pathology".
The field of cervical pathology has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the treatment of early cervical cancer. A variety of treatment options beyond standard therapy are now available to patients, including less radical hysterectomy, trachelectomy, and minimally invasive or open procedures. These advancements have been driven by several objectives, including the need to minimize surgical procedures and improve patients' quality of life. However, as the mean age of patients diagnosed with cervical precancer and invasive cancer decreases, the need for minimization of surgery to reduce disruption of fertility is increasing. This highlights a gap in the field, as the impact of these treatments on fertility and quality of life is not fully understood.
This Research Topic aims to focus on the quality of life of patients treated for cervical lesions and on individualized quality care. The main objective is to explore the impact of different treatment options on patients' quality of life and fertility, and to identify ways to tailor treatments to individual patients' needs. This includes investigating the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery, fertility sparing surgery, and nerve sparing surgery in cervical cancer, as well as the management of preinvasive cervical lesions and HPV infections.
To gather further insights into the impact of different treatment options on patients' quality of life and fertility, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Minimally invasive surgery in early cervical cancer;
• Fertility sparing surgery;
• Tailoring parametrectomy;
• Nerve sparing surgery in cervical cancer;
• Management of preinvasive cervical lesion;
• Management of HPV infection;
• Management of complications in cervical cancer treatment;
• Quality of life in cervical cancer survivors.
