Investigating harms of testing for ovarian cancer - psychological outcomes and cancer conversion rates in women with symptoms of ovarian cancer: A cohort study embedded in the multicentre ROCkeTS prospective diagnostic study.

Objective: To investigate psychological correlates in women referred with suspected ovarian cancer via the fast-track pathway, explore how anxiety and distress levels change at 12 months post-testing, and report cancer conversion rates by age and referral pathway.

Design: Single-arm prospective cohort study.

Setting: Multicentre.

Evaluating the Harms of Cancer Testing-A Systematic Review of the Adverse Psychological Correlates of Testing for Cancer and the Effectiveness of Interventions to Mitigate These.

(1) Background: Several studies have described the psychological harms of testing for cancer. However, most were conducted in asymptomatic subjects and in cancers with a well-established screening programme. We sought to establish cancers in which the literature is deficient, and identify variables associated with psychological morbidity and interventions to mitigate their effect.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy based on anatomical landmarks and locoregional mapping of inguinofemoral sentinel lymph nodes in women with vulval cancer: an operative technique.

Inguinal lymph node involvement is the most robust predictor of mortality in vulval cancer and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a safe diagnostic modality. We describe a technique based on anatomical landmarks. Our aims are (1) to describe the territorial mapping of SLNs, (2) to evaluate the associated complication rate vis-à-vis those reported in the literature, and (3) to assess its accuracy in detecting SLNs.

Postnatal diagnosis of an occult uterine scar dehiscence after three uncomplicated vaginal births after Caesarean section: A case report.

Introduction: The incidence of Caesarean sections has been increasing in the United Kingdom. Obstetricians have become more inclined to offer a trial of a vaginal birth to women following a single uncomplicated Caesarean section due to growing recognition of the high morbidity associated with repeat abdominal surgeries, and the relative rarity of a Caesarean scar defect causing complications at subsequent vaginal deliveries. The diagnosis of a Caesarean scar defect such as a uterine scar dehiscence in the postnatal period still remains elusive due to its vague presentation.
