Pyomyositis is a rare complication of chemotherapy for non-hematological malignancies. A 58-year-old woman with endometrial carcinoma, in whom pyomyositis developed during adjuvant chemotherapy, was presented in this report. After initiating empiric antibiotic therapy for febrile neutrocytopenia, screening CT showed multiple abscesses in the lower limbs. Operative drainage of the abscess was ef...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the proportion and numbers of cancers occurring in Australia in 2010 attributable to insufficient levels of physical activity. METHODS We estimated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of cancers causally associated with insufficient physical activity (colon, post-menopausal breast and endometrium) using standard formulae incorporating prevalence of insufficient p...

Despite a shift from clinical to surgical staging of endometrial cancer in 1988, performance of comprehensive surgical staging for clinically early-stage endometrial cancer remains controversial. Low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups have been defined pathologically. Herein, we describe the risks and benefits of comprehensive surgical staging. Comprehensive surgical staging is encouraged in...

Background: Despite recent technical improvement in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), the implantation rate per embryo still remains low (15%). The aim of the study is to determine whether the failure of IVF cycle is associated with endometrial thickness on the day of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration. Materials and Methods: Endometrial thickness of two hundred and seven p...

We analyzed data from a population-based case-control study of Wisconsin women to evaluate the relationship of alcohol consumption to endometrial cancer risk. Cases (n = 739) were identified from a statewide tumor registry; controls (n = 2313) were selected randomly from driver's license lists and Medicare beneficiary files. Alcohol consumption and other factors were ascertained by telephone in...
