Background: According to epidemiological studies, endometrial carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies of the female reproductive system, with an increasing incidence. Currently, the risk stratification of this neoplasm takes into account the stage, degree of tumor differentiation, histological type and depth of myometrial invasion. Since the publication of the last International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system for endometrial cancer in 2009, numerous reports have appeared on the molecular characteristics of different types of endometrial carcinoma.

- Pelvic organ prolapse results from a weakening of the pelvic musculoskeletal structure and requires more than just a clinical exam for diagnosis.
- Dynamic MRI of the pelvic floor provides high-quality images that assess both the anatomical and functional features of the pelvis without exposing patients to ionizing radiation.
- This imaging technique allows for comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of pelvic issues, helping to guide surgical treatment decisions effectively.
(1) Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of using PDT in the treatment of severe intraepithelial squamous lesions of the cervix and preinvasive cervical cancer associated with HPV in women of reproductive age. (2) Methods: The examination and treatment of 45 patients aged 22-49 years with morphologically confirmed HPV-associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of a severe degree (17 patients) and preinvasive cervical cancer (28 patients) were performed. All patients underwent PDT of the cervix using a chlorin e6 photosensitizer; after which, the affected areas of the cervix were evaluated using video and spectral fluorescence diagnostics.

(2) Methods: Examination and treatment of 52 patients aged 22 to 53 years with morphologically and cytologically confirmed mild to severe intraepithelial cervix neoplasia, preinvasive, micro-invasive, and squamous cell cervix carcinoma. All patients were carriers of human papillomavirus infection.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: We sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized clinical trials to assess the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cervical epithelial neoplasia (CIN) and early-stage cervical cancer. Additionally, according to the results, we tried to consider which stage of CIN is more sensitive to PDT.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using electronic databases including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.
