Gynecological cancer is a term referring to malignancies that typically involve ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Combined, these cancers represent major causes of morbidity and mortality in women with a heavy socioeconomic impact. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that are intensively studied in the field of cancer and changes in them have been linked to a variety of processes involved in cancer that range from tumorigenesis to prognosis and metastatic potential.

This retrospective cohort study included women who had attended the "2nd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens" and "Iaso" Maternity Hospital from October 2019 to January 2023 for infertility treatment. The medical records of 345 women aged 18-45 years old without abnormal findings in hysterosalpingography (HSG) and with at least one previous failed IVF procedure were analyzed.

- The study aims to enhance the analysis of cervical diseases by detecting protein biomarkers from both human and microbial sources in cervical samples.
- Researchers collected both non-frozen tissue biopsies and exfoliative cytology samples to compare the detection of human proteins, finding specific proteins like Lumican and Galectin-1 in biopsies, and IL-36 and IL-1RA in cytologies.
- The study identified Lactobacillus spp. as the most prevalent microbial protein and suggests that future research can use these methods to investigate the relationship between human and microbial proteins in cervical conditions, including cancer and pre-cancerous lesions.
Introduction: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, mainly affects the pelvic viscera and peritoneum. Endometriosis can also occur at sites of surgical incisions on the abdominal wall, mainly in women with a history of cesarean section (CS). The incidence of abdominal wall endometriosis after CS reaches 1%.

There is an evidence on antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies related to thromboembolic events in cancer patients. In fact, the thrombotic complications in patients with malignancy occur at a rather high frequency, compared to other risk factors.
