A global pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus (Covid-19) has created unique challenges to providing timely care for cancer patients. In early-stage cervical cancer, postponing hysterectomy 6-8 weeks is suggested as possible option in the Covid-19 burdened hospitals. Yet, literature examining impact of surgery wait-time on survival remains scarce. This study examined association between 8 and oncologic outcome women with cancer.This single institution retrospective observational at tertiary...
Urgency (i.e., the tendency to act rashly during negative/positive affect) may increase vulnerability a variety of risky behaviors. This cross-sectional study nontreatment-seeking smokers examined relationship between urgency, level nicotine dependence, and smoking reinforcement expectancies. Both positive negative urgency were associated with dependence. Mediational analyses illustrated that expectancies significantly accounted for urgency-dependence relations, displaying incremental...
Early exposure to estrogen-like compounds has been implicated in the etiology of testicular cancer, but individual level epidemiologic data addressing this hypothesis are scarce. The synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) was administered during pregnancy from 1948 1971, sequelae utero have more extensively characterized females than males.By systematic review, we sought identify all research relating cancer a history diethylstilbestrol. Identified studies were critically appraised...
Objective Although preclinical studies suggest possible antitumor effects of metformin against cervical cancer, there is currently a lack clinical data examining the association use and survival in women with cancer. The aim this study was to examine cancer who were receiving metformin. Methods This retrospective consecutive cases stages I IV between 2000 2014. Patient demographics, medication use, tumor characteristics, treatment patterns, outcomes correlated use. Results There 70 (8.9%;...
Objective Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to have adverse effects on the survival of women with endometrial cancer. Because monocytes function as progenitors macrophages, this study examined association between monocyte count at first recurrence/progression cancer and time after (SAR). Methods This is a retrospective evaluating 141 consecutive cases recurrent surgical staging (n = 114) progression nonsurgical management 27). Complete blood cell counts differentiation were...
<h3>Objective</h3> The aim of the study was to identify risk factors associated with laparotomy conversion during total laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. <h3>Methods</h3> This is a retrospective examining cancer cases that underwent hysterectomy-based surgical staging initiated via conventional approach. Factors related patient, tumor, and surgeon were examined establish using multivariate logistic regression model. <h3>Results</h3> There 251 identified including 30 (12.0%)...
Implantable devices offer convenient, long-acting, and reversible contraception. Injury to the peripheral nerves blood vessels have been reported as rare complications of implantation extraction.We present a case ulnar nerve injury in 21-year-old woman from attempted in-office removal deeply implanted Nexplanon® device. The resulted an palsy requiring surgical exploration, neuroma excision, sural cable grafting.In-office attempts remove contraceptive implants that are deep or migrated can...
Objective: Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical menopause results in a significantly increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) women with endometrial cancer. In addition, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is known to be one the major prognostic factors for decreased survival Given fact coagulation are produced liver, correlation between NAFLD and VTE was examined Methods: A retrospective study conducted examine patients cancer who underwent staging including...
To examine intraoperative and postoperative complication rates for surgical staging combined with panniculectomy endometrial cancer.A prospectively collected institutional database was used to identify patients cancer who underwent hysterectomy-based between December 2008 August 2014 (n = 551). The cases were grouped into (panniculectomy group, n 11 [2.0%]), laparotomy without (laparotomy 208 [37.7%]), laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery 332 [60.3%]). Major wound within 30 days from...
This study aimed to evaluate if the presence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosed with subjective and objective measurements correlates survival outcome in patients endometrial cancer.A retrospective was conducted on cancer who developed VTE between diagnosis follow-up from 1999 2013. Disease-specific after evaluated according symptoms vital signs.Among 827 cases during period, there were 72 (8.7%) identified (pulmonary embolism [PE] or without deep vein thrombosis [DVT], n = 34; DVT...
We present an unusual case of a 28-year-old female who had atypical trophoblastic proliferation on her endocervical curettage (ECC) performed at the time colposcopy. The indication for colposcopy was Pap smear notable squamous cells unknown significance, positive HPV. Initially conservative management pursued, but given persistent atypia patient ultimately decided to proceed with definitive via hysterectomy. Final histologic assessment demonstrated epithelioid tumor (ETT). This highlights...
