The role of sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial carcinoma.

Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecological malignancy in developing countries, and the second malignancy after cervical cancer in developing countries. The primary treatment is based on surgical and pathologic staging including extrafascial type A radical hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and latero-aortic lymphadenectomy.

[High mortality for cervical cancer in young women from the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires].

The cervical cancer, which is a reliable indicator of social inequality, remains a major public health issue in Argentina. It is generally accepted that its frequency among young women is low, being the most exposed those over 35 years old. Nevertheless, as gynecologic oncologists, we have been accompanying young patients to their death, mostly women with neither access to screening strategies nor timely or suitable treatment.

Oncolytic Adenovirus-Loaded Menstrual Blood Stem Cells Overcome the Blockade of Viral Activity Exerted by Ovarian Cancer Ascites.

Patients with ovarian cancer present peritoneal ascites at recurrence as a marker of disseminated disease and dismal prognosis. Oncolytic immunotherapy is an emerging approach for the treatment of disseminated cancer. In the present work, we constructed a novel oncolytic adenovirus, AR2011, to target malignant ovarian tumors.

Advanced Vulvar Cancers: What are the Best Options for Treatment?

The treatment of patients with vulvar cancer remains challenging for gynecologic oncologists. Up to 30 % of the cases are diagnosed in a clinical condition of irresectability, and some kind of strategy has to be taken into account beyond surgery.
