Comparative Analysis of da Vinci Xi and hinotori™ SRS Robot-Assisted Surgery Systems for Gynecologic Disorders: A Retrospective Study.

: This study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci Xi and hinotori™ SRS robot-assisted surgical systems for gynecologic disorders. : We conducted a retrospective study of 401 cases (43 benign uterine tumors; 88 pelvic organ prolapses; 270 low-risk endometrial cancers) of robot-assisted surgery performed at Kagoshima University Hospital between January 2017 and October 2024. Surgical factors such as the operative time, blood loss, and complication rates were analyzed and compared between the da Vinci Xi (332 cases) and hinotori™ SRS (69 cases) systems.

A potential inflammatory biomarker for advanced endometrial cancer treated with lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab.

Introduction: To identify prognostic biomarkers that could predict how well patients will respond to lenvatinib/pembrolizumab (LEN/PEM). The utility of certain inflammatory biomarkers in endometrial liquid-based cytology (LBC) or peripheral blood samples, such as neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were explored.

Methods: The study included 25 patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who had received LEN/PEM between August 2018 and March 2024.

Body mass index and breast cancer risk in premenopausal and postmenopausal East Asian women: a pooled analysis of 13 cohort studies.

Background: It has been suggested that the association between body mass index and breast cancer risk differs between Asian women and Western women. We aimed to assess the associations between body mass index and breast cancer incidence in East Asian women.

Methods: Pooled analyses were performed using individual participant data of 319,189 women from 13 cohort studies in Japan, Korea, and China.

Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition with suspected malignant ovarian tumor: a case report and literature review.

Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition disease is a rare condition occurring in soft tissues, resulting in scarring and affecting the bones, making preoperative differentiation from malignant tumors challenging. Here, we describe a case of phosphoglyceride crystal deposition disease initially suspected to be a malignant ovarian tumor before surgery. A 50-year-old woman with a history of three cesarean sections presented with lower abdominal pain.
