BACKGROUND It is well-known that the treatment and monitoring methods are limited for advanced stage of endometrial carcinoma. Biological molecules with expression changes during tumor progression become potential therapeutic targets for advanced stage endometrial carcinoma. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) has been reported to be overexpressed in recurrent endometrial carcinoma, and the expression of human ...

BACKGROUND In women with endometrial hyperplasia, there is a risk for co-existent endometrial cancer when patients are subjected to immediate surgical treatment. AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of endometrial cancer and the accuracy of frozen section analysis at the time of hysterectomy among patients with endometrial hyperplasia, to reveal whether or not a preoper...

AIMS To determine the type of endometrial abnormalities associated with prolonged tamoxifen treatment and to investigate the correlation between tamoxifen dose and any abnormalities detected. METHODS Endometria from 19 prospectively collected breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen were ascribed a pathological diagnosis and the findings compared with those in a control group matched for...

Rare cells with adult stem cell activity were recently discovered in human endometrium. Endometrial stem/progenitor cell candidates include epithelial, mesenchymal and endothelial cells, and all may contribute to the rapid endometrial regeneration following menstruation, rather than a single candidate. Endometrial mesenchymal stem-like cells (eMSC) are prospectively isolated as CD146+PDGF-Rb+ c...

The secretions of the equine endometrial glands are essential for the survival, growth, and development of the conceptus in early pregnancy, and endometrial gland density is directly related to successful pregnancy outcome. Endometrial biopsy is routinely used to assess the reproductive potential of broodmares. Some previous studies have shown that equine endometrial glands are uniformly distri...

Background: Cancer of the endometrium is the most common gynecologic malignancy in western and industrial countries, and is the second most common in developing countries, therefore it is of special importance. Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is the most common type of uterine cancer. The prevalence of endometrial cancer in young women under the age of 40 in western country is very low and ab...

Data are limited regarding the occurrence of endometrial cancer after endometrial ablation (EA). A systematic review of the English-language medical literature was performed of cases of endometrial cancer after EA. This review included the present case report involving a 47-year-old woman with a diagnosis of stage IA, grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma 5 years after radiofrequency EA. The syste...

abstracthydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormechinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. it was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

objective: the purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether the mri and biomarkers human epididymis protein 4 (he 4 ) and ca 125 correlate with depth of myometrial invasion, histologic grade, cervical involvement and nodal metastases in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus. materials and methods: this was a prospective, observational study in women with biopsy-proven ...

endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon in fewer than 40-year-old people. the first common sign and symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. metastasis is occurred in the late stage. here we present a 31-year-old nullipar woman who was admitted to surgical ward with enlarged right inguinal lymphnode from one month ago. she had no history of previous malignancy, infectious condition,...
