ABSTRACT Carcinoma of the cervix is a common neoplasm and accounts for a considerable number of cervical diseases that lead to death in developing countries. In these countries early detection and improved methods of treatment have resulted in comparatively better control of the cancer and long survival however, invasive and metastatic disease still occurs. The authors present the case report ...

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a common neoplasm among Indian women; in fact, it is the commonest malignancy among rural Indian women. Uterine cervical cancer spreads mainly to the regional lymph nodes, with distant metastasis rarely occurring. Major sites of distant metastasis are lung, bone, and liver. Skin metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a very rare event. The reported...

Telomerase, a fundamental marker of neoplastic transformation, is widely expressed in both premalignant intraepithelial lesions and in most malignant lesions of the uterine cervix. We determined telomerase activity (TA) in uterine cervix by Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) in a series of 62 cases, 44 with benign diseases (inflammation and/or metaplasia and/or acanthosis) and 18 with cervica...

Synchronous ovarian and uterine cervix malignancies are extremely rare gynecologic neoplasia. In the meantime the presence of hepatic metastases originating from cervical cancer is another rare situation, the liver being more often a common site of metastases for ovarian malignancies. We present the case of a 63-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a moderately differentiated squamous cell c...

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, with 52% of deaths caused by cancers of the lung and bronchus, female breast, uterine cervix, colon and rectum, oral cavity and pharynx, prostate, and skin (melanoma). In the 1930s, uterine cancer, including cancer of the uterine cervix, was the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. With the advent of t...

OBJECTIVES Infections of the vagina and the uterine cervix are some of the most frequently diagnosed and treated complications during pregnancy. AIMS The aim of the study was to carry out biocenosis of the uterine cervix among pregnant women and the assessment of the resistance of the previously isolated types of bacteria to antibiotics. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was done in a group of...

INTRODUCTION Genital cancers benefit from standardized treatment plans which include: surgery and radio chemotherapy.Lately, treatments involving thermal ablations have entered the clinical use, as they destroy the tumors by the use of different energy sources. Our study aims at establishing a precise role of RFA in current treatment protocols of cancer of the uterine cervix. MATERIAL AND MET...

Our aim was to investigate the incidence, most common indications and adequacy of hysterectomy after uterine cervix conization. We have retrospectively analyzed the patients with conization treated at the Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Niš from 2000 to 2004. There were 306 uterine cervix conizations performed in total. In 54 patients, on the average in 17.64% hysterectomy was done after...

The purpose of this study was to compare among dysplasia of oral, uterine cervix and bronchus. Using a computer cytomorphometry cell measurement program, the study was based on a retrospective review of smear cases diagnosed with dysplasia of oral, bronchial and uterine cervix, from 2002 to 2010. For 50 70 cells from each lesion, nuclear (N) and cytoplasm (C) variables were assessed: area (A), ...

Uterine cervix image analysis is of great importance to the study of uterine cervix cancer, which is among the leading cancers affecting women worldwide. In this paper, we describe our proof-of-concept, Web-accessible system for automated segmentation of significant tissue regions in uterine cervix images, which also demonstrates our research efforts toward promoting collaboration between engin...
