Ovarian carcinoma in patients aged ≥80 years: A retrospective multicenter study of management and survival in the FRANCOGYN population.

Introduction: The aims of this study were to describe survival outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer aged ≥80 years and to explore predictors of poor prognosis.

Methods: We collected clinical, demographic, histologic, surgical and follow-up data for patients with ovarian cancer aged ≥80 years from a multicenter French cohort (FRANCOGYN) who underwent surgery from 1999 to 2019. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Monocentric Retrospective Study: Efficacy, Feasibility, and Prognostic Factors of Single-Insertion High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy With 4 Sessions for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) administered in a single insertion with 4 treatment sessions for locally advanced cervical cancer and to identify the prognostic factors influencing outcomes.

Methods And Materials: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with cervical cancer with locally advanced disease (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 IB-IVB) treated at our institution from January 2014 through December 2021. Each patient received definitive radiation therapy with an external irradiation dosage between 45 and 50.

Accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy in male breast cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is commonly used in the surgical management of male breast cancer. Contrary to female breast cancer, limited data exist about its performance in male breast cancer. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the SLNB accuracy in male breast cancer.

Early formative objective structured clinical examinations for students in the pre-clinical years of medical education: A non-randomized controlled prospective pilot study.

Background: The value of formative objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) during the pre-clinical years of medical education remains unclear. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a formative OSCE program for medical students in their pre-clinical years on subsequent performance in summative OSCE.

Methods: We conducted a non-randomized controlled prospective pilot study that included all medical students from the last year of the pre-clinical cycle of the Université Paris-Cité Medical School, France, in 2021.

Management of gynecological cancers in the emergency department: Impact of precariousness and prognostic factors.

Objective: The primary objective was to determine the profile of patients consulting in an emergency department and diagnosed with a pelvic cancer. Our secondary objective was to assess the potential impact on this diagnostic trajectory on survival.

Method: A single-center retrospective study including patients managed for a pelvic cancer between January 2018 and November 2020 in the center Hospitalier Intercommunal de Creteil was conducted.
