Effect of Lymphadenectomy on Survival in Early-Stage Type II Endometrial Carcinoma and Carcinosarcoma.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate whether systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection delivers any survival advantage in a subgroup of patients with type II endometrial carcinoma and carcinosarcoma.

Methods: We evaluated 135 patients with clinically early-stage (Stage I-II) type II endometrial carcinoma and carcinosarcoma who underwent systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection or who did not undergo any lymph node dissection.

Results: Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survivals (RFS) were significantly longer in the systematic lymph node dissection group (hazard ratio 0.

Relation of MPO, MnSOD, NQO1 gene variants in endometrial carcinoma in the line of PCR-RFLP methods.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to be responsible for inducing DNA damage leading to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and cell death if the capacity of the protective antioxidant system is impaired. Endometrial carcinoma is the primary cancer type in the female genital system. The enhanced cell lipid peroxidation and impaired antioxidant enzyme activities observed in patients with endometrial cancer indicate the potential for oxidative injury to cells and cell membranes in such patients.

Role of diffusion weighted MRI in the differential diagnosis of endometrial cancer, polyp, hyperplasia, and physiological thickening.

Our purpose was to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of various common pathologies of the uterine cavity, by comparing them with contrast-enhanced MRI findings. One hundred sixty-four patients with lesions in endometrial cavity were included in the study. The patients were grouped in four (one malignant and three benign groups).

Role of diffusion-weighted MRI in the differential diagnosis of endometrioid and non-endometrioid cancer of the uterus.

Background Many publications have examined the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and tumor grade in endometrial cancer. Nevertheless, none were designed to evaluate according to the histopathological type of endometrioid and non-endometrioid tumors. Purpose To evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of endometrioid and non-endometrioid cancer of the uterus, by comparing them with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

Do obesity and age effect the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes in premenopausal women with endometrial cancer?

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the effect of age and body mass index (BMI) on the prognosis, demographic characteristics, and pathological features of patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer, specifically before menopause.

Materials And Methods: Patients that were diagnosed with endometrial cancer before menopause, were screened retrospectively. Between 1999 and 2011, 163 patients were identified while 40 were excluded.
