Microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) is effective for the emergency control of uterine hemorrhage. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only a single report of life-threatening hemorrhage induced by endometrial carcinoma that was treated with MEA. The present report evaluates the efficacy of MEA as an emergency therapeutic option for the control of bleeding due to advanced endo...

A retrospective review was done to evaluate the importance of degenerative endometrial debris accompanied with benign-looking endometrial cells in Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. In total, 306 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the absence (group 1) or presence (group 2) of endometrial debris. Eighty-one (26.5%) patients received histologic follow-up. The biopsy rate for premenopausal ...

the endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. they are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in end...

BACKGROUND Importin13 (IPO13) is a novel potential marker of corneal epithelial progenitor cells. We investigated the expression and localization of IPO13 in endometrial, endometriotic and endometrial carcinoma tissue. MATERIAL/METHODS IPO13 expression in endometrial, endometriotic and endometrial carcinoma tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry, qPCR and Western blot. RESULTS Immunohi...

BACKGROUND A good blood supply to the endometrium is usually considered as an essential requirement for implantation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of endometrial and subendometrial vascularity in the prediction of pregnancy during frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS Women undergoing FET in natural or clomiphene-induced cycles after the first stimu...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of sonographic endometrial thickness and hysteroscopic characteristics in predicting malignancy in postmenopausal women undergoing surgical resection of endometrial polyps. METHODS Five hundred twenty-one (521) postmenopausal women undergoing hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps between January 1998 and December 2008 were studied. For each value of so...

BACKGROUND Endometrial brush cytology is a widely accepted method for the detection of endometrial lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of cytological sampling using Uterobrush in the screening of endometrial pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective double-blind study evaluating the efficacy of the Uterobrush method (Cooper Surgical, Trumbull, USA) in the detec...

Molecular profiling of endometrial neoplasms reveals genetic changes in endometrial carcinomas that support the dualistic model, in which type I carcinomas are estrogen-dependent, low grade lesions and type II carcinomas are nonestrogen dependent and high grade. The molecular changes in type I endometrial carcinomas include mutations in PTEN, PIK3CA, KRAS, and beta-catenin, along with microsate...

background: unexplained infertility is still a challenging issue as to its causes, appropriate management and treatment. evidence implicates early embryopathy or implantation failure as likely causes. objective: this study aims to investigate the effect of local endometrial injury on pregnancy rate in selected unexplained infertile patients. materials and methods: this was a randomized clinical...

Breast cancer constitutes 54.8 percent of deaths from malignancies in female genital tract in Malaysia, 19951• It is also the second most common death (19.4%) from malignancies in females in Malaysia. The use of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy continuously for five or more years has contributed to longer survivals in these patients. Several recent reports of possible association between tamoxifen tr...
