Background Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is an option for patients who require immediate gonagonadotoxic treatment of cancers. when there is insufficient time to conduct ovulation induction This procedure can be used in patients with genetic mutations with a high risk for premature ovarian failure.This strategy is the only option for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls or in women who...

background: poor ovarian response phenomenon has been observed in some of the in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients. some investigations found that follicle stimulating hormone receptor (fshr) gene plays a role in the process, but no direct evidence shows the correlation between genotypes of fshr and ovarian response. objective: exploring the molecular mechanism behind the mutation of...

background and aims: ovarian cancer is one of most common causes of cancer related women's mortalities. human papilloma virus is a known factor concerning cervical cancer but its role in causing ovarian cancer is not yet verified. a few studies also identified hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. however, some studies did not detect hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. in this article, we inv...

Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be representative of Gorlin syndrome.Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. To report a case of a young patien...

Considerable progress has been achieved in the treatment of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) by using retinoic acid and/or arsenic trioxide. However, it is generally considered that an effective agent which induces differentiation of myeloid leukemic cells has not been provided for the treatment of patients with other subtypes of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). On the other h...

primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. here we introduce a case of tubal carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. the diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. because of low frequency of tubal carcinoma, there are few systemi...

this study was performed to evaluate the effect of atenolol on the serum concentration of tt4 and tt3 in subclinical hyperthyroid patients. due to the i n s u fficient information about the effect of atenolol on serum level of these hormones, the aim of this research was to shade some light on the subject. fifteen subclinical hyperthyroid patients entered this study. each patient received 100 m...

background: ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. however, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long n...

background: benign ovarian cysts are common among both pre- and postmenstrual women. surgical intervention for excision of an ovarian cyst is mandated when symptomatic, or chance for malignancy is high. the damaging effect of surgical ovarian cystectomy on ovarian reserve is debated in recent studies. objective: in the present study we investigated serum level of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) as...
