International Journal of Women's Health

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "The Prevention, Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Cervical Cancer" in the International Journal of Women's Health.

The morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer are fourth ranked in global female malignant tumors. It can be reduced significantly by implementing cytology and HPV testing effectively. The use of the HPV vaccine has also significantly reduced the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to preventing cervical cancer, and can definitely reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease, and HPV is a necessary but not sufficient cause of cervical cancer. Over the past few decades, the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer have decreased in most countries and regions, especially in developed countries. However, in developing countries and regions, cervical cancer morbidity and mortality remain high, which is closely related to the human development index, poverty rate, the coverage rate of cervical cancer screening, the sensitivity of cervical cytological testing, the accessibility of HPV vaccine, sexual lifestyle, and HPV virus transmission. In 2018, to reduce the global burden of cervical cancer, the WHO Director-General called for the elimination of cervical cancer worldwide (≤4 per 100,000 women worldwide). With the increasing coverage of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccine, more and more HPV-independent cervical cancer is being identified. The questions of how to effectively achieve the goal of eliminating cervical cancer, how to effectively implement vaccination, early diagnosis and treatment, as well as the difficulties and challenges existing in practice, have been the concern of governments and medical institutions globally.

We are calling for papers on cervical cancer (HPV dependent and HPV-independent) prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, including:
• HPV vaccination
• epidemiology of cervical cancer
• risk factors
• disparities and challenges
• screening methods of cervical cancer
• screening frequency and interval
• screening outcomes and follow-up
• screening in special populations
• cost-effectiveness and implementation
• the role of colposcopy in cervical cancer prevention and treatment
• the treatment of cervical precancer.
• innovative approaches to cervical cancer screening and prevention
• clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of cervical precancer and cancer

Submission types include research articles, clinical studies, reviews, case reports, technology reports, opinion and commentary.

Keywords:
• Screening tests
• HPV vaccine
• HPV-independent cervical cancer
• Prevention
• Diagnosis
• Treatment

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Women’s Health Month 2024" in the International Journal of Women's Health.

Women’s Health Month, recognized annually in May, is an awareness event aiming to increase knowledge of women’s health and common issues affecting all women at different stages of their lives. It serves as a reminder for all women to prioritize themselves and their health, whether this be by seeking medical attention when necessary or having the knowledge to identify any unusual symptoms and warning signs. It can also be simply taking a break to unwind and enjoy your favorite activities. 

Despite all the progress in the past few decades, there remains a substantial gap in the research and treatment for conditions that not only affect women, but also those which manifest differently in women than men such as heart disease, osteoporosis and urinary incontinence. This lack of knowledge and focus has only been further highlighted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic which exposed the fragility of healthcare systems towards women’s health issues and its lack of sufficient policies and guidelines. In some lower-middle income countries, the consequences were detrimental. The socio-economic burden of the pandemic resulted in poorer mental health and due to the lack of priority towards routine checkups for expectant parents, there was also a rise in easily preventable still-born deaths. It is evident, now more than ever, that women’s health needs to be a key priority for everyone, and that the health inequalities need to be addressed. 

• In this regard, the International Journal of Women’s Health would like to invite authors to submit Original Research Articles, Reviews, Clinical Studies, and other manuscript types accepted by the journal on any subject area tailored towards women’s healthcare that could add to the current knowledge. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
• Health conditions pertaining to Obstetrics & Gynecology, Orthopedics, Surgery, Cardiology, Hematology, Oncology, and other fields of science and medicine;
• Early diagnosis, screening, prevention, and treatment of health conditions including chronic conditions such as pain, migraine, headaches, arthritis, osteoporosis;
• Sexual and reproductive health including fertility patterns and emerging technologies to address infertility;
• Infectious disease with chronic sequelae including HIV/AIDS, HPV, PID, and other STDs;
• Psychological and psychosocial conditions - depression across the life span, substance abuse, domestic violence;
• Physical and emotional wellbeing;
• Health maintenance among aging females - factors affecting the quality of life including physical, social, and mental issues;
• Male vs female incidence comparisons for conditions that affect both genders;
• Avenues for health promotion and disease prevention across the life span.

Keywords

Women's Health, Gender Differences, Health Inequalities, Health Promotion
