Abstract

Gynaecological cancers contribute to a substantial portion of the global cancer burden. Traditionally, these cancers have been treated by generalists, including gynaecologists and surgeons. However, owing to increasing sophistication and challenges in their management, a new sub-speciality of Gynaecologic Oncology, dedicated to these women's comprehensive care, has emerged in recent times. The emergence and evolution of this sub-speciality will facilitate a holistic approach to treating women suffering from gynaecological cancers, including tailored surgical techniques, fertility preservation, precision medicine, hormone modulators, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which can be achieved within the framework of multidisciplinary management. Hence, we decided to write this synopsis to shed light on the evolution of this discipline in India and offer current and future perspectives.
