Controversies in Gynecologic Oncology include: Robotic surgery limitations of cervix cancer surgery, controversial sentinel node techniques for endometrial and uterine cancer, the evolving issues of Parp inhibitors for treatment and maintenance of ovary cancer, and Germ-line mutation screening. We must apply the most recent data and expert opinion to offer patients the best treatment options and also boost APP and nurse navigation support for these cancer patients.
