BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery has become a standard treatment for endometrial cancer and offers significant benefits over abdominal approaches. There are discrepant data regarding lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and positive peritoneal cytology with the use of a uterine manipulator, with previous small-scale studies demonstrating an increased incidence of these prognostically impor...

This research aims to explore the potential risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) for early gastric cancers in young patients.We retrospectively collected data from 4287 patients who underwent gastrectomy from January 2005 to December 2015 at Linyi People's Hospital. Of these, we enrolled 397 eligible consecutive patients who had early gastric cancer, then divided them into 2 groups accor...

Objective. Colorectal cancer has a high prevalence worldwide, and new predictive and prognostic factors are needed for its early diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In this study, we have investigated the relationship between colorectal cancer and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values. Methods. Data from 71 patients admi...

HYPOTHESIS The presence of nonsentinel lymph node (NSLN) metastasis after having a positive sentinel lymph node dissection finding is associated with tumor size and stage, the presence of lymphovascular invasion, micrometastasis, and extranodal extension. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Four hundred seven consecutive patients at a single institution...

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in Croatia. The aim of this study was to determine the immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PGR) in cancer cells and in the myometrium and to correlate it with prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma. ER positivity in carcinoma cell nuclei was found in 42 cases (73.7%) and PGR pos...
