Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma: The role of p53 and p16 immunohistochemistry.
Gynecol Oncol Rep
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Vulvar squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) show distinct patient groups based on HPV status, with p16 positivity indicating HPV-related tumors and p53 abnormalities associated with non-HPV tumors.
- A study of 148 patients in Sydney found that p16-positive patients were generally younger and had higher smoking rates, while p53-positive patients had worse prognostic factors and outcomes.
- The research highlights the importance of p16 and p53 markers in predicting survival and recurrence, suggesting the need for future studies like the STRIVE trial to improve treatment strategies for vulvar SCC.

Objective: Global variations in women's health outcomes, increased international migration, and an increase in the number of medical schools underpin the need for global standardization in obstetrics and gynecology curricula for medical students. However, there are currently no recommendations regarding the content of a common curriculum. The aim of this project was to agree the objectives for a common curriculum in obstetrics and gynecology for medical students globally.

Our objective was to investigate clinicians' adherence to revised cervical screening guidelines and to identify any reasons for testing outside the revised guidelines.
Methods: Australian clinicians involved in cervical screening and treating women with cervical abnormalities were invited to complete a cross-sectional online survey between September 2019 and February 2020.
Background: There is currently a gender imbalance 85:15 female/male in the intake into specialist training for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG).
Aims: To determine the views and perceptions of Australian medical students, and junior doctors in the first five years of practice, toward obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) as a career, including whether there are any perceived barriers to the pursuit of such a career.
Materials And Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire was developed with members of the RANZCOG Gender Equity and Diversity Working Group There were two separate studies: the first involved telephone interviews of medical students across three campuses of a medical school in North Queensland.
