Laparoscopy is commonly used for endometrial cancer treatment, and sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has become the standard procedure nodal assessment. Despite standardization of technique, there no definitive data regarding its failure rate. The objective this study to identify factors associated with unsuccessful SLN in patients undergoing laparoscopic after intracervical indocyanine green (ICG) injection.We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series who underwent ICG injection, four...
To identify the best method among radiologic, laparoscopic and laparotomic scoring assessment to predict outcomes of cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC).Patients AOC who underwent pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan, evaluation, between August 2016 February 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Predictive Index (PI) score Peritoneal Cancer (PCI) scores used estimate tumor load residual disease primary debulking (PDS) interval (IDS) after neoadjuvant...
Different strategies have been proposed for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), with different impacts on patient's quality life (QoL). This study aimed to analyze urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunctions in a series LACC patients who underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radical surgery, or combination these treatments. Patients neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy (NART/CT; n = 35), chemotherapy (NACT; 17), exclusive (ERT/CT; 28), upfront surgery (UPS; 10) from November 2010...
Objectives Survival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated the local extent primary disease. The aim study was to develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasonography (USG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and examination under anesthesia, define disease in newly diagnosed cancer. Methods Patients biopsy proven who underwent surgery from January 2013 December 2018 four participating centers were recruited. USG, MRI, anesthesia prior included study. Those...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the knowledge, awareness and attitude of mothers preadolescent girls regarding HPV vaccination cervical cancer, to understand how improve efficacy Italian campaign through gathered data. METHODS: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted in unvaccinated 9 12-year-old (yo) Italy from November 2018 July 2019, evaluate their toward HPV, its information sources campaign. The selection distribution sites questionnaire performed with randomization 50 major places...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has become the gold standard for surgical staging of early stage endometrial cancer. Side-specific systematic lymphadenectomy is suggested if SLN failed. The objective this study to identify clinical and pathological factors associated with failed mapping. <h3>Methodology</h3> We prospectively evaluated a consecutive series cancer patients submitted indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared compatible platforms in two oncological...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Survival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated the local extent primary disease. For this reason, new FIGO staging system has given greater importance to instrumental investigations in pre-surgical evaluation. The objective study develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination under anaesthesia (CEUA), better define disease newly diagnosed cancer, using...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Laterally Extended Endopelvic Resection (LEER) has been identified as a valid therapeutic option for women with gynecological malignancies involving the pelvic side wall. The historical approach to LEER is laparotomic, recently we have proposed so called Laparoscopically Modified (LM-LEER).The objective of this study compare surgical and oncological outcomes between LM-LEER in consecutive series patients infiltrating <h3>Methodology</h3> We retrospectively...
