Questionnaires were sent to 20 ordinance-designated cities and 23 wards Tokyo metropolitan area Japan via telephone mail January 2021. An additional survey was conducted March April 2021, counted monthly checkups 2020 and, as a control data, number 2019. "The State Emergency" between 7 May 25, 2020, included 13 prefectures....
Objective Sentinel nodes (SNs) have been observed in several reports from Japan and overseas cases with endometrial cancer; however, no consensus has reached regarding the types of tracers or method their injection. A combination radioisotope (RI) dye is considered to be desirable. We assessed SN mapping using either near-infrared fluorescence imaging clarify a suitable cancer. Methods Patients were enrolled 92 patients diagnosed cancer having extrauterine metastasis by preoperative between...
The aim of this study was to establish criteria that would indicate whether fertility preservation therapy likely be safe for patients aged 40 years or less with endometrioid endometrial cancer based on their DNA methylation profile.Forty-nine fresh-frozen tissue samples from an initial cohort and 31 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded a second were subjected genome-wide analysis using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip.Epigenomic clustering early-onset correlated widely used recurrence risk...
Interval debulking surgery (IDS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is currently one of the preferred treatment options for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety dose-dense paclitaxel plus carboplatin therapy (ddTC therapy) as NAC these cancers.A retrospective in 25 patients with Stage III/IV cancer who received ddTC NAC. For therapy, (80 mg/m2) administered intravenously on Days 1, 8 15 (AUC 6.0 mg/ml ×...
Abstract There has been a rapid advance in germline multigene panel testing by next-generation sequencing, and it is being widely used clinical settings. A 56-year-old woman suspected of having Lynch syndrome was identified as BRCA2 pathogenic variant carrier testing. The patient diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the age 39 years, total laparoscopic hysterectomy bilateral salpingectomy were performed 49 years; however, oophorectomy not that time. As she had family history colorectal...
Abstract Substantial numbers of variants unknown significance (VUSs) have been identified in BRCA1 / 2 through genetic testing, which poses a significant clinical challenge because the contribution these VUSs to cancer predisposition has not yet determined. Here, we report 10 Japanese patients from seven families with breast or ovarian harboring BRCA2 c.7847C>T (p.Ser2616Phe) variant that was interpreted as VUS. This recurs only Japan and reported global general population databases. A...
