Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of lymphadenopathies after COVID-19 vaccination and their impact on the clinical management of gynecologic oncology patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted involving patients who underwent abdominopelvic or thoracoabdominopelvic CT scans during diagnosis or follow-up. Patients were classified into a vaccinated group (Vac group) and a non-vaccinated group (NoVac group).
Objective: COVID-19 vaccination has been related to menstrual irregularities; however, the effect on postmenopausal women is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) after COVID-19 vaccination.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology in Hospital del Mar.
Objective: Incisional hernias are a common complication of midline laparotomies. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of prophylactic mesh placement after midline laparotomy for ovarian tumors on the incidence of incisional hernia.
Methods: We collected retrospective data from patients undergoing midline laparotomy for borderline or ovarian cancer with at least 12 months of follow-up, including those with and without mesh.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers looked at two blood tests, procalcitonin and CRP, to see if they could help predict problems after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.
- They studied 92 patients and found that higher levels of these markers were linked to a condition called anastomotic leakage, where the surgical connections in the bowel may fail.
- The best time to check these blood tests for accurate results was found to be day 1 for procalcitonin and day 3 for CRP after surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with high-grade endometrial carcinoma (EC) have a higher likelihood of tumor spread and lymph node metastasis (LNM), with preoperative imaging and CA125 levels aiding in their assessment.
- A study involving 333 high-grade EC patients found that elevated CA125 levels significantly correlated with advanced disease stages and poorer survival outcomes.
- Logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated CA125, non-endometrioid histology, deep myometrial invasion, and cervical involvement are strong predictors of LNM, while CT findings alone were less predictive.
