background: the sentinel lymph node (sln) is defined as the first chain node in the lymphatic basin that receives primary lymphatic flow. if the sln is negative for metastatic disease, then other nodes are expected to be disease-free. sln techniques have been extensively applied in the staging and treatment of many tumors, including melanoma, breast and vulvar cancers. this study aims to evalua...

background endometrial carcinoma is a highly prevalent gynecologic malignancy. the international federation of gynecology and obstetrics (figo) staging system underwent significant revision on 2009. key changes in the figo staging system include simplification of stage i endometrial cancer and removal of cervical mucosal invasion as a separate stage. mri is a noninvasive diagnostic method for p...

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 ...

wc studied the correlation between preoperative cervical cytology, postoperative clinicopathologic findings, and sites of metastasis from so surgically staged patients with endometrial carcinoma tliirty-faur patients (68%), liad normal cervical cytology, ami 16(32%) had malignant preoperative cervical cytology. malignant cervical smears were statistically correlated with surgical stage (p = 0.0...

background: in intracavitary brachytherapy for gynecological cancers, various techniques are used to locate the anterior rectal wall nearest to the sources but there is no consensus on the best method to do so. this study aimed to compare a technique used routinely in some centers that employs a wire marker to locate the position of the maximum rectal dose point, versus the method recommended b...

background: best dose distribution in target volume and control of organ at risk (oar) dose are the two main goals in brachytherapy. materials and methods: in this study in vivo dosimetry in 4 rectal points was performed by transillumination dosimeter (tld) s and the measured doses were compared in different patients. one point was reported to have the maximum dose in each patient and the very ...

Background and Objectives: To determine whether chest CT-scan in patients with cervical or endometrial cancer is of additional value for planning initial treatment and work-up. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of 465 patients diagnosed with cervical or endometrial cancer between January 2003 and December 2007. All patients who underwent a chest CT-scan before treatment were inclu...
