Cervical cancer in young women: Does age impact survival in cervical cancer?
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
December 2024
Background And Objectives: To evaluate the oncology outcomes in cervical cancer patients aged 25 years or younger and compare them with those in older patients.
Methods: Cervical cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: young patients (≤25 years) and older patients (>25 years). For each young patient, two controls were selected from the database of cervical cancer patients aged over 25 years, matched by FIGO stage, treatment, and histologic type.
Agreement between frozen section and histopathology to detect malignancy in adnexal masses according to size and morphology by ultrasound.
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet
August 2024
Objective: Management of suspect adnexal masses involves surgery to define the best treatment. Diagnostic choices include a two-stage procedure for histopathology examination (HPE) or intraoperative histological analysis - intraoperative frozen section (IFS) and formalin-fixed and paraffin-soaked tissues (FFPE). Preoperative assessment with ultrasound may also be useful to predict malignancy.

- The patient underwent antibiotic treatment to stabilize her condition but was not suitable for radical nephrectomy due to her other kidney’s poor function; she eventually required outpatient hemodialysis which managed her symptoms.
- The patient passed away 7.7 months after being admitted and 1 month after starting treatment, highlighting the need for tailored treatment for cancer patients and the necessity of further research to understand and prevent this condition.
Objective: To evaluate the histologic response rate of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the cervix after topical application of 5% imiquimod cream.
Methods: In this phase II trial, women with cervical HSIL (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN] 2-3) were randomly assigned to 250 mg of 5% imiquimod cream applied to the cervix weekly for 12 weeks, followed by loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) without preceding treatment. The sample size was calculated based on the HSIL regression rates previously reported by Grimm et al.
Study Objective: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has been proven to accurately stage endometrial cancer (EC). However, there is a lack of studies comparing the incidence of complications between different lymph node approaches in EC. The objective of the study was to define the complication rates of SLN biopsy in EC patients.
