Background: Cervix is part of female reproductive system. Cervix connects the upper body of the uterus to the vagina.The cervix is very commonly affected organ by a variety of infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. This study was undertaken to focus on uterine cervix tumors, including benign and malignant tumors. The most common uterine cervix benign tumors are leiomyoma. Carcinoma c...

Uterine cancer is a malignant process an event that occurs in female reproduction, so the surrounding tissue cannot perform its function properly. This condition usually accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge, this disease can occur repeatedly. The possibility of uterine attack womb for pregnant women as great those who are not pregnant. uterus or reproduction during pregnancy s...

Tamoxifen has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of tumour recurrence in women with receptor positive breast cancer and has been used for chemoprevention in women with both non-invasive cancer and those with a high risk of developing breast cancer. An established and accepted risk with this treatment is the increased incidence of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Less well recognised ...

Adenosarcoma of the uterus is a mixed epithelial-mesenchymal tumor containing benign glandular epithelial component with sarcomatous mesenchymal stroma. This rare tumor accounts for only 8% of all uterine sarcomas (1). It has been suggested that some cases of the uterine adenosarcoma may be associated with hyperestrinism due to the administration of tamoxifen and prior radiation exposure (1-3)....

OBJECTIVE To estimate the frequency of unsuspected uterine sarcoma identified postoperatively in women undergoing surgery for presumed benign uterine fibroids at a single university hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study; the records of all 2275 patients with uterine fibroids and uterine sarcomas from 2003 to 2015 were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were...

Recent changes in the lifestyle of young women have led to an increase in the rate of uterine cervical cancer. We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of uterine cervical cancer in young women, and examined the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Tumor samples from 439 patients with uterine cervi...

BACKGROUND Metastatic uterine cancer is notoriously difficult to treat, presenting a poor prognosis and a median survival time of less than 1 year. We present the successful use of the antiestrogen fulvestrant in an endocrine therapy-naive patient with advanced uterine cancer. CASE REPORT A 64-year-old female presented with advanced uterine cancer 7.0 x 6.0 x 5.5 cm in size, with infiltration...

OBJECTIVE Uterus transplantation (UTx) is a potential option for women with uterine factor infertility to have a child, but there has been no large-scale survey of the views on UTx in women of reproductive age in Japan. The present study was aimed to clarify the views of Japanese women of reproductive age on UTx for uterine factor infertility. METHODS A questionnaire on UTx was conducted by a...

Postmenopausal uterine choriocarcinoma is very rare and benefits of curative chemotherapy. We present here the case of 62-year-old women with uterine bleeding. Emergency surgery revealed a uterine tumor and histopathology findings were consistent with choriocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry tests confirmed betahCG and cytokeratin expression by malignant cells, thus establishing the positive diagn...

INTRODUCTION Gynecological cancer patients are routinely followed up for five years after primary treatment. However, the value of such follow up has been debated, as retrospective studies indicate that first recurrence is often symptomatic and occurs within two to three years of primary treatment. We prospectively investigated time to first recurrence, symptoms at recurrence, diagnostic proced...
