Adjuvant chemotherapy shows clear benefits in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer (BC). Its benefits are less universal in BCs expressing hormone receptors. The 21-gene Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test was designed for HR+, HER2- early-stage BC before decision on adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study, including 11 French hospitals, of data from the period between April 2012 and December 2015.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to correlate placental volumes deduced from three-dimensional ultrasound and virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) software with systemic concentrations of D-dimer and soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR).
Methods: This was a monocentric experimental prospective study conducted from October 2008 to July 2009. Forty consecutive patients at risk of placental vascular pathology (PVP) recurrence or occurrence were included.

Objective: Evaluate accuracy of prenatal ultrasound findings in predicting the risk of bowel atresia in patients with gastroschisis.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 18 fetuses with a prenatal diagnostic of gastroschisis treated at University hospital of Saint Etienne France between 2002 and 2012. Ultrasound abnormalities were used to classify them into three groups: no ultrasound abnormality (n=4), oligohydramnios (n=9), intra-abdominal bowel dilatation ≥20.

Objectives: Compare the number of consultations with the consultation's delay in relation with the sensation of decrease active fetal movements (AFM) in case of late pregnancy, according to the fact if the patients use or not the AFM's count.
Materials And Methods: We have compared a "control" group made up of 160 patients who received a classic information and observation (from December 18th, 2013 to February 28th, 2014) versus an "educated" group made up of 160 patients who have been educated to the AFM count (from March 1st, 2014 to August 12th, 2014).
Results: The consultations for AFM decrease, were significantly more frequent in the "control" group than in the "educated" group (36 versus 8, P=0.

Objective: Compare the issue of an operative vaginal delivery associated to the fetal presentation diagnosed by transperineal ultrasound. Three groups were formed: ≥55 mm, between 45 and 55 mm, and <45 mm.
Methods: A monocentric prospective study on 108 patients has been conducted between April 2011 and August 2014.

Objectives: Evaluate knowledge of patients with late pregnancy on active foetal movements.
Patients And Method: This prospective study has been carried out with volontary patients during the 41-week of gestation term consultation, with a questionnaire, at the obstetric gynecology departments of St-Etienne Hospital (CHU), Clermont-Ferrand Hospital (CHU), Roanne Hospital (CH) and Firminy Hospital (CH), from July 22nd, 2013 to September 14th, 2014.
Results: Few patients (17%) have been seen urgently by an obstetrician or a midwife in case of a decrease of the active foetal movements.

Objectives: Estimate the predictive value of perineum-fetal head distance obtained by transperineal ultrasound on results of an operative vaginal delivery.
Patients And Method: A prospective preliminary monocentric study has been conducted on 28 patients between the 18th of April and the 31st of July 2011. Three successive perineum-fetal head distance have been measured before realization of an operative vaginal delivery.

Objectives: We analysed the risk factors of vaginal surgery of pelvic organ prolapse with non resobable prothesis.
Patients And Methods: This is a continuous, retrospective study of the 208 patients who had surgery between 2003 and 2007. Depending on the localisation of the prolapse, they had a prothesis under the bladder and/or a posterior tape through the sacrospinous ligament.
Background: The guidelines advise arterial embolization in case of post-partum hemorrhage. We evaluated its feasibility and the subsequent fertility.
Methods: A retrospective study has been conducted in our center for the past 10 years (1996-2005).
