METHODS. A decision‐analysis model used compare 2 strategies for cancer: 1) an expert center, a rate optimal cytoreduction 75% utilization combined intraperitoneal intravenous chemotherapy, 2) less experienced 25% treatment that consisted predominantly...

Abstract Introduction: Cervical cancer incidence is 32% higher among Latinas in the U.S. and 78% women Puerto Rico compared to non-Latina White women, yet it preventable through screening. Vaginal self-sampling for PAP oncogenic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing an alternative with public insurance or uninsured, who are less likely seek cervical The CervicalMethDx test, a DNA methylation algorithm identifying HPV-positive at risk Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) grades 2/3, assessed...
Clinically useful molecular tools to triage women for a biopsy upon referral colposcopy are not available. We aimed develop panel detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2 or higher lesions (CIN2+) in with abnormal cytology and high-risk HPV (HPV+). tested biomarker epithelium DNA obtained from 211 evaluated cancer clinic Chile 2006 2008. Results were verified prospective cohort of 107 Puerto Rico 2013 2015. Promoter methylation ZNF516, FKBP6, INTS1 discriminated brush samples...
•This is the first case report of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in literature to present with extrauterine disease.•A prompt work-up symptoms may have precluded a debulking procedure.
Uterine sarcomas (USs) are characterized by poor response to systemic chemotherapy and high recurrence rates. This study evaluates whether the use of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal (HIPEC) confers survival benefit in comparison conventional treatment modalities patients recurrent US.A retrospective analysis US at a single institution for an 11-year period was performed. All women pathologic diagnosis leiomyosarcoma, adenosarcoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, or...
