Objective: Splenectomy is performed in 4-32% of cytoreductive surgeries for ovarian cancer. The objective of our study was to assess splenectomy and evaluate its impact on overall and disease-free survival.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study between January 2000 and December 2016.
Objectives: Description of fertility and prognosis of patients with borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) treated by fertility-sparing surgery through a longitudinal study from the French national cancer network.
Methods: All consecutive patients diagnosed with BOT from the French National Network dedicated to Ovarian Malignant Rare Tumors from 2010 and 2017 were selected. In 2018, an update was made by sending a questionnaire regarding recurrence and fertility to patients aged under 43 years at diagnosis and treated conservatively.
Purpose: Genital melanoma is a rare pathology. We present the experience of two comprehensive cancer centers in Lyon (France) in the management of genital melanoma in order to identify prognostic factors and optimal treatments.
Methods: Between April 1992 and Mars 2014, 16 patients with a primary genital melanoma were referred to our department.
Phyllodes tumors (PT) are uncommon fibroepithelial breast neoplasms and there is currently no clear consensual treatment for these tumors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the surgical management and outcome of benign and borderline PT. We retrospectively assessed 76 cases of benign or borderline PT managed at the Leon Berard comprehensive cancer center in Lyon, France between July 2003 and December 2013.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Systematic metastasis staging in early breast cancer is no longer recommended. However, it is still performed before adjuvant chemotherapy.
Materials And Methods: We assessed metastasis screening of asymptomatic women with a local breast cancer without lymph node involvement when adjuvant chemotherapy was indicated.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the role of regional lymph node status in guiding adjuvant therapy for endometrial cancer, specifically looking at micrometastases detected during ultrastaging of sentinel lymph nodes.
- Ninety-three patients with early endometrial cancer underwent surgery with sentinel lymph node mapping, comparing those who experienced relapses to those who did not to assess the significance of micrometastases.
- The findings suggest that lymph node status is crucial for determining treatment plans, and the sentinel lymph node technique may benefit early-stage patients, highlighting the need for further multicenter studies to refine detection methods and evaluate significance.
Background: Because of underestimation, surgical excision is recommended for atypical ductal hyperplasia diagnosed on directional vacuum-assisted biopsies. The following guidelines have been established according to our retrospective study published in 2008: excision for lesions ≥ 21 mm, follow-up for lesions <6 mm with complete removal of microcalcifications, and follow-up or excision for 6 to 21-mm lesions with respectively less or >2 atypical ductal hyperplasia foci.
Methods And Results: These guidelines were assessed in a prospective series of 124 patients with a median follow-up of 30 months.
