Abstract:
In this review, we summarized 14 major clinical advances in gynecology which occurred in 2008. For cervical cancer, clinical impact of HPV vaccine, prognostic value of imaging during radiotherapy, and oncologic/obstetric outcomes of fertility-sparing surgery were chosen. For uterine cancer, optimal method of adjuvant radiotherapy in intermediate-risk patients, extent of lymph node dissection, outcome of robot-assisted staging surgery, new standard chemotherapy regimen for leiomyosarcoma were selected. For ovarian cancer, recent changes in adjuvant therapy, feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, prediction of optimal secondary cytoreduction, studies on new biomarkers, advances in screening and treatment of women with BRCA mutations were included. For other cancers, the safety of sentinel lymph node dissection in vulvar cancer and chemotherapy regimens for low-risk gestational trophoblastic tumors were reviewed.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
