introduction: in the current study we evaluated the incremental value of lateral pelvic lymphoscintigraphy imaging of endometrial or cervical cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping. methods: operable endometrial and cervical cancer patients without clinical or paraclinical evidence of lymph node involvement were included in the study. the day before surgery the patients were sent ...

This chapter summarizes the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios) of ultrasound, computer tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of various gynecological diseases and tumors. Positron emission tomography is not discussed. Imaging in infertility, in the diagnosis of Mullerian duct anomalies and in gynecological oncology (s...

ObjectivesThere is a need for more knowledge about the public awareness and attitudes towards gynecologic cancers. We employed research-purpose population-based citizen panel to assess how often people recall cancers compared other cancer types explore relative importance of different information channels in relaying information.Study designWe conducted an online survey using Norwegian Citizen ...

BACKGROUND Human HIV-1 TAT interactive protein 2 (HTATIP2/TIP30) is an evolutionarily conserved gene that is expressed ubiquitously in human tissues and some tumor tissues. This protein has been found to be associated with some gynecological cancers; as such, this study aimed to investigate blood HTATIP2/TIP30 levels in patients with ovarian cancer. METHODS Twenty-three women with ovarian can...

Introduction Ovarian lesions in paediatric patients require special considerations that may not be applicable in adult patients with comparable diseases. Importantly, these lesions do not follow the same histologic distribution as those seen in adults. They range from benign cysts that can regress spontaneously to bilateral malignancies that require aggressive treatment. Gynecological malignanc...

Ovarian cancer is associated with the highest cancerrelated mortality among gynecological cancers. Primary radical surgery of ovarian carcinoma determines further course of the disease and thus also the outcome of the patient [1]. Post-operative residual tumor is one of the most important prognostic factors [2]. We present here such a case where good prognosis was obtained in spite of the huge ...

JNCI Vol. 104, Issue 9 | May 2, 2012 Ovarian carcinoma has the highest mortality of all gynecological cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, about 22 280 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed, and 15 500 women will die of ovarian cancer in the United States (1). Despite achieving high rates of remission following radical surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, mos...
