Background: Cervical cancers are mainly caused by an oncogenic HPV. For locally advanced stages, the standard treatment is radio-chemotherapy (RTCT) followed by brachytherapy. Nevertheless, the prognosis remains highly heterogeneous between patients.

Despite the vital importance of DD, it faces challenges such as high costs and lengthy timelines. This review examines the historical progression and current market of DD alongside the development and integration of AI technologies.

Due to significant adverse effects, 20-30% of women delay or refuse early oophorectomy. This prospective pilot study (NCT01608074) aimed to assess the efficacy of radical fimbriectomy followed by a delayed oophorectomy in preventing ovarian and pelvic invasive cancer (the primary endpoint) and to evaluate the safety of both procedures.

Waiting for colposcopy is often an anxiety-provoking situation for women, probably linked to a widespread ignorance of the value of screening and the pathophysiology of HPV infection.
Methods: The COLANX was a multicentric study, in Seine-Maritime, conducted with 8 colposcopist practitioners.

Objective: To describe practices and impact of ambulatory surgery rate, patient satisfaction after Nursing Support and Post Ambulatory Follow-up Device at Home at the Henri Becquerel Center (DIASPAD CHB) has been set up during surgical management in breast cancer.
Method: This is a prospective monocentric observational study carried out between January 2017 and December 2018. Patients eligible for the study should undergone breast cancer surgery without reconstruction.

Objectives: The primary objective was to assess the failure rate of exclusive lipofilling breast reconstruction. The secondary objectives were the identification of failure predictive factors of exclusive lipofilling breast reconstruction and the early complications.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study in Normandy analysing cases of secondary breast reconstruction by exclusive lipofilling after radical mastectomy, from January 2006 to December 2016.
Metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) such as copper oxide (CuO) NPs offer promising perspectives for the development of novel agro-chemical formulations of pesticides and fertilizers. However, their potential impact on agro-ecosystem functioning still remains to be investigated. Here, we assessed the impact of CuO-NPs (0.

Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of LRT on OS in a large retrospective cohort of de novo MBC patients, with regard to immunohistochemical characteristics and pattern of metastatic dissemination.
Methods: We conducted a multicentric retrospective study of patients diagnosed with de novo MBC selected from the French Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics MBC database (NCT03275311) between 2008 and 2014.
Background: Ischemic myocardial damage accompanying coronary artery bypass graft surgery remains a clinical challenge. We investigated whether xenon anesthesia could limit myocardial damage in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients, as has been reported for animal ischemia models.
Methods: In 17 university hospitals in France, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands, low-risk elective, on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients were randomized to receive xenon, sevoflurane, or propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia for anesthesia maintenance.
