Endometrial cancer is the most common female genital tract cancer in Western societies (1). The prognosis for endometrial cancer is closely associated with tumor stage and histology (2). Currently, almost all cases are diagnosed following presentation with postmenopausal bleeding. Although the value of screening women in the general population for endometrial cancer is questionable, there are a...

A novel tumour associated antigen, 22-1-1, has been recently described in association with a cervical adenocarcinoma cell line. The aims of this paper were to study the tissue distribution of this antigen in sections of gynaecological cancer specimens and to compare it with negative controls. Six cases of cervical cancers, 5 cases of endometrial cancers, 4 cases of ovarian cancers and 5 cases e...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The role of female hormones in estrogen-dependent cancers has been debated for years. This is particularly true of breast cancer. Retrospective, case, and cohort control studies usually have suggested no influence. The Women's Health Initiative study in 2002, a prospective double-blind study, noted an increased risk of breast cancer if estrogen plus progesterone was given. In ...

introduction : cervical screening has decreased the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer worldwide. due to a low incidence rate of cervical cancer in iran and several middle eastern countries, an opportunistic screening is available for women in this region. we aimed to design and validate a questionnaire about knowledge, attitude, and practice (kap) for cervical cancer and cervical scree...

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...

The evaluation of the whole skeletal muscle area at level third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography (CT) scans has often detected loss mass, defined as sarcopenia, and reduced radiation attenuation (SMRA) in patients with different malignancies. Baseline sarcopenia been 33.3%-51.8% advanced cervical cancer, 33.6%-50% those endometrial 11%-64% ovarian cancer. We reviewed literature data clini...

Introduction: Endometrial carcinoma is commonly diagnosed gynaecological malignancy in women and the incidence of endometrial cancer associated mortality rates have increased recent years. hyperplasia recognized precursor lesion its timely detection offers an opportunity to prevent development cancer. Her-2/neu oncogene amplification has been implicated progression many tumours overexpression m...

Background Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women and is regarded as one of the leading causes of cancer death in developing countries. In cervical cancer patients, both surgery and radiation therapy may bring about sexual dysfunction. Therefore, this study aimed to survey sexual dysfunction in women with cervical cancer and a history study of pelvic radiation therapy in Ghae...

Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS), a 140-kDa homodimer glycoprotein member of the TGF-beta superfamily of biological-response modifiers, causes regression of the Mullerian ducts in developing male embryos. MIS also can induce growth arrest and apoptosis in ovarian and cervical cancer cell lines. The embryonic progenitor of the ovarian and cervical epithelium is the coelomic epithelium, the s...
