Objective: To evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy, type of ovarian surgery, and the surgical approach on fertility in patients with stage I immature teratoma of the ovary.

Methods: Clinicopathologic data were retrospectively collected and analyzed from a cohort of 47 patients with childbearing desire treated for a stage I immature teratoma of the ovary at IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori Hospital, Monza, Italy. Multivariate logistic regression was used to address the influence of chemotherapy and type of surgery on the outcome.

Background: At the time of AtTEnd trial design, standard treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer included carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. This trial assessed whether combining atezolizumab with chemotherapy might improve outcomes in this population.

Methods: AtTEnd was a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial done in 89 hospitals in 11 countries across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.

Objective: The standard surgical treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma is primary debulking surgery (PDS) aiming to complete cytoreduction. The need to achieve complete cytoreduction has shifted the surgical paradigm to more complex procedures, whose impact on morbidity is controversial. The objective of this retrospective analysis is to explore the impact of extensive PDS on morbidity and oncologic outcomes in a real-world scenario.

Article Synopsis
  • - Blood flow rate during venovenous ECMO impacts mixed venous oxygenation (Sv), which can influence pulmonary circulation and right heart function in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • - A study evaluated the physiological effects of varying ECMO blood flow levels on Sv in 20 ARDS patients, revealing that higher blood flow rates led to decreased cardiac output, pulmonary artery pressure, and right ventricular workload.
  • - The results showed an inverse relationship between cardiac output and mixed venous oxygenation, indicating that as ECMO blood flow increased, overall cardiac efficiency and workload on the right heart decreased without affecting mismatching measures significantly.

Objective: Immature teratomas are rare malignant ovarian germ cell tumours, typically diagnosed in young women, where fertility-sparing surgery is the treatment of choice. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage I disease remains controversial. We evaluated the impact of surveillance versus chemotherapy on the recurrence rate in stage I immature teratomas.
