BACKGROUND The role of various gynaecological imaging modalities is vital in aiding clinicians to diagnose acute gynaecological disease, and can help to direct medical and surgical treatment where appropriate. It is important to interpret the imaging findings in the context of the clinical signs and patient's pregnancy status. METHODS Ultrasound and Doppler are readily available in the emerge...

Gynaecological cancer is a very stressful experience for women and treatments can compromise fertility and reproductive capacity. Fertility preservation techniques in women with gynaecological cancer can play an important role in improving the quality of life of these patients but, in many cases, the information about this type of treatment is not adequate. It is important to further investigat...

OBJECTIVES Low participation rates for gynaecological examination and low reliability of clinical reporting of gynaecological examination findings are problems in community studies of gynaecological morbidity in India. This pilot study aimed to describe the reliability of a new examination protocol for recording the findings of gynaecological examination and the reliability and acceptability of...

Discuss possible causes of pelvic masses in female patients. Discuss utility and clinical applications of MRI combined with PET/CT in the management of these patients. Illustrate cases presented as large pelvic masses, of gynaecological and non gynaecological origin.

Endometrial cancer generally has a good prognosis because most cases are diagnosed in stage I. It is possible to identify subgroups of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer with a poor prognosis. Despite a traditional generous use of adjuvant radiotherapy, these patients have five-year overall survival of approximately 80%. In this group there is a need for an effective systemic adjuvant...

Introduction A literature review was conducted to establish if intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning and treatment enhances current whole pelvic radiation therapy (WPRT) practices for early-stage gynaecological malignancies. Our purpose was to determine if IMRT implementation at a small radiation therapy centre is feasible, and warranted, given the issues of potentially small pa...

BACKGROUND Endometrial, ovarian and breast cancers are paradigms for global health disparity. Women living in the developing world continue to present in later stages of disease and have fewer options for treatment than those in developed countries. Risk reducing surgery is of proven benefit for women at high risk of gynaecological cancer. There is no specific model for identification and manag...
