To assess the effectiveness of clinical follow up after primary surgery for early stage cervical cancer.Retrospective analysis radical hysterectomy and node dissection cancer.Gynaecological Oncology Cancer Centre.Two hundred ninety-one patients who underwent cancer.Follow data were collected retrospectively from hand-searched notes, as well a computerised database (Information System Clinical Organisation [ISCO]). The analysed using SPSS windows (SPSS, Chicago, Illinois) statistics package,...
Management of cancer during pregnancy requires careful consideration risks and benefits from maternal fetal perspectives. For advanced lung adenocarcinomas, with no targetable driver mutations, there is evidence-based guidance on the use carboplatin–paclitaxel chemotherapy after first trimester. In contrast, for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged metastatic a paucity clinical data safety EGFR ALK tyrosine inhibitors to mother fetus...
Objective This study aimed to examine the existing methods of follow-up in women who have undergone treatment early endometrial carcinoma South Wales and assess if they are appropriate. Design used a retrospective analysis data. Setting was performed Virtual Gynaecological Oncology Centre, Wales, United Kingdom. Sample sample is composed 552 women. Methods Data regarding were collected retrospectively from patient case notes computerized data systems. analyzed using Pearson χ 2 test, Cox...
Ureteral polyps are a rare cause of ureteral obstruction in the adult and pediatric populations. Fibroepitheial (FEP) most common type polyps. This clinical entity is very rare, warranting periodic review by practitioners, new advancements laparoscopy allow surgical approaches to its cure. We present case 20-year-old male with right sided flank pain. He was found have uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) subsequently underwent laparoscopic robotic-assisted collecting system exploration, excision...
Introduction Inguino-femoral lymph node dissection plays a crucial role in the management of vulvar cancer. The procedure is associated with high complication rates, including infection, lymphocysts/lymphoedema and wound dehiscence. Several skin incision techniques exist practice among gynecology oncologists variable. Little evidence exists to guide surgeons regarding optimal surgical approach. This study aimed determine difference 30-day number nodes length stay between patients undergoing...
Background Vulvar cancer is a rare disease and despite broad adoption of sentinel lymph node mapping to assess groin metastases, inguino-femoral dissection still plays role in the management this disease. Inguino-femoral associated with high morbidity, limited research exists guide best surgical approach. Objective To determine international practice patterns key aspects technique provide data future research. Methods A survey addressing six domains performing was distributed internationally...
The routine method of follow-up for women with endometrial cancer who had been managed surgically by hysterectomy is clinical examination at a scheduled appointment defined intervals. main rationale asymptomatic that early detection recurrent disease and subsequent salvage therapy may improve survival. However, this has not demonstrated among cancer, particularly in low-risk groups. A number studies found no improved survival patients developed detected during their normal compared...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Inguino-femoral lymph node dissection plays a crucial role in the management of vulval cancer.

<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Incidence of iatrogenic ureteric injury during gynaecological surgery occurs in approximately 0.5–1.5% cases with the majority occurring benign cases. More than 70% are diagnosed post-operative period. However radical hysterectomy for malignancy significantly increases risk injuries (between 5–30%) and complications related to it. In view this, local guidelines at University Hospital Wales recommend removing urinary catheter day 7 post-operatively, after an...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Previous trials have not shown any therapeutic benefit of pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL) in high grade or type 2 endometrial cancer but doubts been raised regarding the findings these due to their methodology. The recent ESGO guidelines (2016) only recommended for purpose comprehensive staging and determining prognosis. Our aim was assess current practice gynaecological oncology centres United Kingdom. <h3>Methodology</h3> We surveyed membership British...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer may be performed using a minimally invasive approach or and open, abdominal surgical approach. A growing body of evidence provides conflicting regarding survival outcomes between these two approaches. This study contributes retrospective review 10 years data from the South East Wales Gynaecology Oncology Centre. <h3>Methodology</h3> all cases radical (open laparoscopic) carried out January 2008 December 2018. Data...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Obesity in the UK is a growing problem and classically associated with increasing comorbidities, longer operative time more complications. It increasingly common for gynaecological surgeons to operate laparoscopically which has proven benefits of reducing complications such as wound dehiscence infection, shortens recovery time. However there are additional challenges laparoscopy these patients including need instruments, technically difficult access,...
Five percent to ten of ovarian cancers are hereditary. Individual genetic risk developing malignancy is discussed in women. Currently, prophylactic surgery advised women with a moderate high cancer. Workload and outcome the multidisciplinary familial screening clinic South Wales were assessed. This was an observational study 145 registered Familial Ovarian Screening Clinic between January 1998 December 2003. The data retrieved from medical notes. Yearly follow-ups investigated transvaginal...
<h3>Objectives</h3> To audit the outcomes of sentinel lymph node mapping in a Welsh cancer centre, order to demonstrate sufficient learning curve adopt biopsy as mainstay surgical endometrial cancer. <h3>Methods</h3> There are no current standards against which departments for adoption staging. We identified published quality indicators – including <5% false negative rate, >20 cases per surgeon performing procedure, successful bilateral >50% cases. Our local gynae oncology database...
