Tumor budding index and microvessel density assessment in patients with endometrial cancer: A pilot study.

The present study aimed to analyze the association between tumor budding index (TBI) and microvessel density (MVD) and selected clinicopathological features in female patients with endometrial cancer (EC). The present study included 137 patients, of whom 117 had endometrial endometrioid cancer and 3 had non-endometrioid EC (NEEC). Additionally, 8 cases of simple endometrial hyperplasia and 9 cases of atypical endometrial hyperplasia were included in the present study.

The effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound guided by magnetic resonance therapy on obstetrical outcomes in patients with uterine fibroids - experiences from the main Polish center and a review of current data.

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are benign tumors of female genital tract. Clinically symptomatic UFs may be a cause of serious health problems for many women worldwide. The optimal choice of a treatment method should fit a patient's specific life situation or expectancies (especially fertility) as much as possible.

Prognostic significance of TEM7 and nestin expression in women with advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Objectives: Tumor endothelial marker 7 (TEM7) and nestin have been proposed to be new candidates for neoangiogenesis assessment. Nestin is also cancer stem cells marker in various malignant tumors.

Aims: To investigate the expression of TEM7, nestin and nestin-related microvessel density (MVD) in high-grade serous ovarian cancer samples and to study their correlation with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) times.

Mig-7 expression and vasculogenic mimicry in malignant ovarian tumors.

Objectives: To investigate the possible association of vasculogenic mimicry (VM), VE-cadherin and MIG-7 expression with clinicopathological features of women with malignant ovarian masses.

Material And Methods: VM was studied with the PAS reaction and VE-cadherin was assessed with immunohistochemistry in 108 women with malignant ovarian tumors. Additionally, quantitative expression of MIG-7 mRNA was performed in 52 ovarian cancers with qRT-PCR.

Non-invasive therapeutic use of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) with 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Benign uterine fibroids are common female genital tract tumors and if symptomatic often require extensive surgery. When tumors are multiple and large or unusually located, the operative treatment may lead to significant morbidity and compromise quality of life. Recovery period after surgical treatment may be complicated by patient's medical condition and wound healing problems.

[The incidence of ovarian tumors in the third trimester of pregnancy].

Method And Results: Between 1993 and 2000, 7529 patients underwent cesarean section (24.3% of 31,798 delivering women) at University Hospital in Poznań. There were 52 cases of simultaneous adnexal surgery among them because of ovarian tumors (1 case/144 abdominal deliveries; 1 case/612 pregnancies).
