High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare uterine malignancy. The cells of these tumors resemble endometrial cells in the proliferation stage, with many small plexiform arterioles. Herein we present a patient with endometrial stromal sarcoma that metastasized to the brain, along with the CT and MRI findings and a discussion of the surgical and histopathological features of the metastatic...

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor (Celecoxib®) and gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (Diphereline®) to a control group on endometrial implants in rats. MaterialsAndMethods Endometriosis was induced in rats by auto transplantation and after confirmation, the rats were divided into 4 groups that were tre...

background: implantation is considered as the rate-limiting step in success of assisted reproduction techniques, and intrauterine insemination cycles. it might be affected by ovarian superovulation and endometrial local scratching. objective: this study aims to investigate the effect of local endometrial injury on the outcome of iui cycles. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical tri...

Background: Because implantation failure is more frequent, many methods have been suggested to improve the implantation; however, their results have been inconsistent. One of the most hopeful methods is local endometrial injury. To explore the possibility that local injury of the endometrium increases the incidence of implantation and pregnancy rate in the subsequent IVF cycle in patients havin...

PURPOSE Effective treatments for advanced endometrial cancer are lacking. Novel therapies that target specific pathways hold promise for better treatment outcomes with less toxicity. Mutation activation of the FGFR2/RAS/ERK pathway is important in endometrial tumorigenesis. RPS6KA6 (RSK4) is a putative tumor suppressor gene and is a target of the ERK signaling pathway. We explored the role of R...

In the United States, endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive system. Strategies to sensitively and accurately diagnose premalignant endometrial lesions are sorely needed. We reviewed studies pertaining to the diagnostic challenges of endometrial precancers, their predictive value, and evidence to support management strategies. Currently, two diagnost...

BACKGROUND The use of fertility regulating drugs is limited among various socio-ethnic groups due to limited knowledge about their mechanism of action. This study investigates the effect of levonorgestrel and mifepristone on attachment of human embryos to an in vitro endometrial construct. METHOD Three-dimensional endometrial constructs were established by co-culturing early luteal phase huma...

Runx3 is a transcription factor that belongs to the Runx family. We studied the localization of Runx3 mRNA in the mouse uterus, and its function in the mouse endometrium using Runx3 knockout (Runx3(-/-)) mice. Runx3 mRNA was detected in the endometrial luminal epithelial cells, glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells below the epithelial cell layer on the luminal side. The uteri of Runx3(-...

This paper will focus on knowledge related to brain metastases from endometrial carcinoma. To date, 115 cases were documented in the literature with an incidence of 0.6% among endometrial carcinoma patients. The endometrial carcinoma was usually an advanced-stage and high-grade tumor. In most patients (~90%), brain metastasis was detected after diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma with a median i...
