Abstract:
In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancer have entered a new era with the development of precision medicine. The diagnosis and treatment modes for ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer are constantly adjusted. The application of molecular targeted drugs and the progress of surgical concepts and technology have greatly improved the survival of patients with ovarian cancer. Immunotherapy and targeted therapy have become a new hot spot in the treatment of cervical cancer. More clinical research data have been accumulated on the comparison of laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer. The surgical management of endometrial cancer has been improved, and molecular diagnostics are increasingly used to guide the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer. Meanwhile, it's necessary to realize the limitations and challenges of precision medicine in gynecologic cancer.
