Is Peritoneal Cytology a Prognostic Factor in Endometrial Cancer?
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) changed the surgical staging criteria for endometrial cancer in 2009, namely combining FIGO 1988 Stage IA and IB in FIGO 2009 Stage IA, eliminating cervical glandular involvement from Stage II, and removing peritoneal cytology as criteria from Stage IIIA (3). This review of the literature sheds light on the continued debate among ...
متن کاملThe Prognostic Significance of Lymphovascular Space Involvement in Patients with Uterine- Confined Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer
Copyright © 2012. Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in the Western world. For patients with a uterine-confi ned earlystage endometrial carcinoma, the infl uence of prognostic factors such as patient age, the tumor grade, and the depth of invasion are well-recognized [1]. The presence of lymphovascular space involvement (LV...
متن کاملInhibin-α subunit expression in uterine endometrioid adenocarcinomas and endometrial cancer cell lines: a potential prognostic factor.
Inhibins/activins are secreted polypeptides of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, forming a family of dimeric, disulphide-linked proteins. Inhibins are composed of an α-subunit and one of two possible β-subunits. Both inhibins and activins have substantial roles in human reproduction and in endocrine-responsive tumors. However, the prognostic significance and clinical implications of...
متن کاملSonographic measurement of the lower uterine segment thickness: is it truly predictive of uterine rupture?
BACKGROUND Sonographic examination of the lower uterine segment (LUS) has been used to diagnose a uterine defect and to determine the degree of LUS thinning in women with previous Caesarean section. Previous studies have demonstrated that the LUS thickness measured sonographically has a high negative predictive value for uterine rupture, suggesting that a normal LUS thickness predicts a safe tr...
متن کاملInterleukin 11 is upregulated in uterine lavage and endometrial cancer cells in women with endometrial carcinoma
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL) 11 is produced by human endometrium and endometrial cancer tissue. It has roles in endometrial epithelial cell adhesion and trophoblast cell invasion, two important processes in cancer progression. This study aimed to determine the levels of IL11 in uterine lavage fluid in women with endometrial cancer and postmenopausal women. It further aimed to determine the level...
