OBJECTIVE To discuss the feasibility of single-site robotic surgery for benign gynecologic tumors and early stage gynecologic cancers. METHODS In this single institution, prospective analysis, we analyzed six patients who had undergone single-site robotic surgery between December 2013 and August 2014. Surgery was performed using the da Vinci Si Surgical System. Patient characteristics and sur...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the synchronous gynecologic cancers in Turkish women. MATERIALS AND METHODS A population-based longitudinal cohort study was conducted using Izmir Cancer Registry (ICR) data on gynecologic cancer patients diagnosed in the period 1993 to 2005. The registry covers the 3.7 million population of Izmir and has been collecting data on cancer incidence and survival of cancer p...

Background and Objective: Ovarian tumors are among the most frequent pathologic conditions in gynecologic practice and a frequent cause of hospitalization and surgery. The aim of this study was to determine histologic distribution of benign operated masses especially functional ovarian

The distinction between breast and müllerian carcinomas from each other and from tumors with a similar cytokeratin profile can be difficult. We tested the usefulness of 2 new markers, NY-BR-1 and PAX8, by staining a variety of breast and gynecologic carcinomas, along with tumors of pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, and gastroesophageal junction. NY-BR-1 expression (ie, H score >10) was seen in 58....

The evolution of treatment for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors has been one the most successful in history gynecologic oncology, with dysgerminoma as common type tumors. Since introduction platinum-based chemotherapy 1980s, 5-year survival rates early-stage dysgerminomas have close to 100%, and high 98% advanced stages. Despite this remarkable achievement, many questions remain routine treat...

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the ovary is an uncommon gynaecological malignancy with aggressive clinical course.1 In most instances ovarian LCNEC associated a surface epithelial tumour or mature cystic teratoma.2 Mixed and high grade serous (HGSC) exceedingly rare subentity, only handful cases identified in literature.1 We report case 56-year-old female who presented four week...

•Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) secretion by gynecologic tumors is rare.•Elevations in serum GCSF can be seen in the absence of tumor GSCF secretion.•Extreme leukocytosis is associated with autocrine tumor growth and poor prognosis.

Advanced laparoscopic procedures are increasingly being used as an alternative to laparotomy in gynecologic oncological surgery. The benefits of advanced laparoscopic procedures compared with laparotomy are clear, including decreased pain, decreased surgical site infection rate, decreased length of stay, quicker return to activity and cosmesis. Recently, the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive S...
