Article Synopsis
- The cervical microbiome (CM) is affected by gynecological cancers and undergoes changes after chemoradiation (CRT) therapy in cervical cancer patients.
- A study analyzed cervical swabs from 16 cervical cancer patients and 30 healthy women, revealing significant differences in microbiome composition before and after treatment.
- The findings indicate that the CM is more diverse in pre-treatment cancer patients compared to healthy controls, and major alterations occur post-CRT, suggesting potential avenues for future research on treatment options.
Unlabelled: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant neoplasm, mostly affecting the skin (97% of cases). It is usually found in elderly people, in the sun-exposed areas of the skin. About 50-60% of MCC cases are located on the head and the neck, less often on the extremities and the torso, and extremely rarely in the genital area.

Objectives: The assessment of prognostic value of pretreatment tumor size in cervical cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients of Maria Sklodowska - Curie Memorial Cancer Centre in Warsaw, treated between January 1996 and December 2000, were included into the retrospective study. 242 patients were diagnosed with a histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma and 42 with adenocarcinoma, FIGO staged IB-IVA, having undergone the clinical assessment and USG examination of the tumor treated with curative intent with surgery and/ or radiotherapy.
Unlabelled: Cervical cancer is the sixth cause of cancer morbidity and the seventh cause of cancer death among women in Poland. The rising tendency of cervical adenocarcinoma morbidity and the decrease of cervical squamous cell carcinoma have been observed. Many authors emphasize the worse outcome of cervical adenocarcinoma patients, when compared with the squamous cell cancer.

Materials And Methods: In the database of Clinical GIST Registry from 2001 to 2004 we identified 44 women with the diagnosis of CD117(+) GIST of small intestine, what corresponds to 34% (44/130) all female GIST patients. Sixteen of them (36.
Malignant melanoma is a neoplasm which frequency has been increasing rapidly in Poland. The paper describes five cases of patients with cutaneous melanoma coexisting with pregnancy, who have been recently treated in the Department of Soft Tissue/Bone Tumors of M. Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer--Institute of Oncology, Warsaw.

Material And Methods: A retrospective review of 145 stage III B cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy between 1989-1993 at Maria Skłodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center in Warsaw was performed. Radiotherapy consisted of External Beam Irradiation (EBI) and Brachytherapy (BT) or EBI alone.
