| Abstract: | The treatment of gynecologic malignancies entails surgery, systemic therapy and radiation therapy. Depending on the primary disease site and extent of the disease, the treatment strategies are applied alone or in combination. Over the past few decades, specialist knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology and behavior of gynecologic neoplasms has led to a significant improvement in the relevant treatment modalities. The surgical management of gynecologic malignancies has evolved from the simple hysterectomy to more comprehensive staging procedures that are of pivotal importance for improving and estimating the prognosis and guiding the treatment of affected patients. These sometimes complex procedures encompass radical pelvic and upper abdominal surgery, including the associated urologic and intestinal procedures that are required to adequately resect the neoplasm. In this article, we will review and summarize the literature on the surgical resection and reconstruction of advanced and recurrent gynecologic malignancies with a focus on ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers. © 2008 Expert Reviews Ltd. |
