wc studied the correlation between preoperative cervical cytology, postoperative clinicopathologic findings, and sites of metastasis from so surgically staged patients with endometrial carcinoma tliirty-faur patients (68%), liad normal cervical cytology, ami 16(32%) had malignant preoperative cervical cytology. malignant cervical smears were statistically correlated with surgical stage (p = 0.0...

endometrial cancer generally carries a good prognosis. endometrial carcinoma more frequently metastasizes to the pelvic and para-aortic nodes. visceral metastases usually occur in the vagina and ovaries. distant metastases involve lungs and occur as a terminal event. this case report describes vulvalar metastasis of endometrial cancer to the clitoris. metastatic tumors of the vulva are rare. mo...

objective: the purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether the mri and biomarkers human epididymis protein 4 (he 4 ) and ca 125 correlate with depth of myometrial invasion, histologic grade, cervical involvement and nodal metastases in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus. materials and methods: this was a prospective, observational study in women with biopsy-proven ...

endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon in fewer than 40-year-old people. the first common sign and symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. metastasis is occurred in the late stage. here we present a 31-year-old nullipar woman who was admitted to surgical ward with enlarged right inguinal lymphnode from one month ago. she had no history of previous malignancy, infectious condition,...

BACKGROUND The incidence and death rates of endometrial cancer are alarmingly increasing. The diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer is crucial to decreasing mortality. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) belongs to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter family and plays an essential role in anion regulation and tissue homeostasis of various ...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Endometrial hyperplasia is considered a precursor of endometrial carcinoma, but concurrent endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial hyperplasia is seen frequently. Our aim was to examine the risk factors for coexisting endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial hyperplasia. METHODS Between January 1996 and September 2006, 77 patients who underwent hysterec...

background: carcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely uncommon neoplasm, accounting for only 0.3% of gynecologic cancers. case: a 17-year-old female patient presented with clinical symptoms of right side deep pelvic pain. ultrasound examination reveals right adenxal mass with breakdown suggesting neoplastic lesion or tubo-ovarian abscess. she was diagnosed clinically as tubo-ovarian mass for...

BACKGROUND It is well-known that the treatment and monitoring methods are limited for advanced stage of endometrial carcinoma. Biological molecules with expression changes during tumor progression become potential therapeutic targets for advanced stage endometrial carcinoma. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) has been reported to be overexpressed in recurrent endometrial carcinoma, and the expression of human ...
