Background:Recent genetic and morphologic studies have challenged the traditional view on pathogenesis of ovarian cancer; suggesting that cancer predominantly arises within fallopian tubes or uterus. We hypothesize surgical removal is associated with a reduced risk for cancer.

Study aimsTo prospectively assess the diagnostic accuracy of a pelvic sentinel lymph node (SLN) algorithm in high-risk endometrial cancer (HREC).Patients and methodsConsecutive women with presumed FIGO stage I-II HREC underwent robotic surgery at two academic centres by five accredited surgeons. An anatomically based was adhered to, following cervical injection indocyanine green (ICG), reinjection tracer case non-display predefined lymphatic pathways. After removal SLNs, infrarenal...

BACKGROUNDEndometriosis, a common gynaecological disease, is characterized by local and systemic inflammation, which may cause infertility consequently, increased utilization of assisted reproduction technology (ART). We aimed to estimate the risk for preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) stillbirth, Caesarean section, pre-eclampsia antepartal haemorrhage among women with previous diagnosis endometriosis compared no endometriosis.

Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy represents the standard treatment for early-stage cervical cancer. Results from a recent randomized controlled trial demonstrate that minimally invasive surgery is inferior to laparotomy regards disease-free and overall survival.To investigate oncologic safety of robot-assisted cancer as compared laparotomy.Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical non-inferior in recurrence-free survival advantage fewer post-operative complications superior...

Importance The risks and benefits of thromboprophylaxis therapy after cancer surgery are debated. Studies that determine thrombosis risk with high accuracy needed. Objectives To evaluate 1-year venous thromboembolic events major how these vary over time. Design, Setting, Participants This register-based retrospective observational matched cohort study included data on the full population Sweden between 1998 2016. All patients who underwent for bladder, breast, colon or rectum, gynecologic...

Studies of women with ulcerative colitis (UC) during pregnancy have reported increased risks preterm delivery, growth restriction, and congenital malformation. However, the results are inconsistent due to inadequate study design limitations in sample size.We performed a population-based prevalence on 2637 primiparous UC hospital diagnosis prior delivery 868,942 no Denmark Sweden, 1994-2006.

Introduction Sentinel lymph node dissection is widely used in the staging of endometrial cancer. Variation surgical techniques potentially impacts diagnostic accuracy and oncologic outcomes, poses barriers to comparison outcomes across institutions or clinical trial sites. Standardization technique quality assessment tools are critical conduct trials. By identifying mandatory prohibited steps sentinel (SLN) cancer, purpose this study was develop validate a competency tool for use assurance....

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), are important in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We assessed efficacy anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (mAb, c5N), known to prevent induced endometriosis baboons, reducing established baboons. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled study was conducted baboons at Institute Primate Research (IPR), Nairobi, Kenya. Endometriosis 18 adult female (Papio anubis)...

ObjectivesTumor cells release fragments of their DNA into the circulation, so called cell-free tumor (ctDNA) or liquid biopsy. Here, we analyze if human papillomavirus (ctHPV DNA) is detectable before, during and after treatment, in patients with cervical cancer pre-malignant lesions that may develop cancer, whether ctHPV levels were correlated to patient characteristics outcome. Furthermore, total load studied using cfAlbumin as a surrogate marker.Methods18 locally advanced CC (LACC), 15...

Background Radical trachelectomy is considered a viable option for fertility preservation in patients with low-risk, early-stage cervical cancer. Standard approaches include laparotomy or minimally invasive surgery when performing radical trachelectomy. Primary Objective To compare disease-free survival between FIGO (2009) stage IA2 IB1 (≤2cm) cancer who underwent open versus (laparoscopic robotic) Study Hypothesis We hypothesize that has similar oncologic outcomes to those of the approach....
