Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is usually associated with germ cell tumours (dermoid cyst) or endometriosis in primary cancer. While tumour metastasis to the ovary is common and often bilateral in over 50 percent of cases, metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma to the ovary is infrequent compared to adenocarcinoma from other extraovarian primaries and the cervix.

Reports of uterine cancer deaths that do not specify the subsite of the tumor threaten the quality of the epidemiologic appraisal of corpus and cervix uteri cancer mortality. The present study assessed the impact of correcting the estimated corpus and cervix uteri cancer mortality in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The epidemiologic assessment of death rates comprised the estimation of magnitude...

abstract carcinoma of the cervix is a common neoplasm and accounts for a considerable number of cervical diseases that lead to death in developing countries. in these countries early detection and improved methods of treatment have resulted in comparatively better control of the cancer and long survival however, invasive and metastatic disease still occurs. the authors present the case report o...
