Introduction: Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) are common conditions impacting quality of life and sexuality may worsen after ovarian cancer therapies. Our objective was to describe the prevalence of PFD and sexuality in women with ovarian cancer (OC).
Methods: We reviewed articles indexed in the MEDLINE database until June 2020 and selected articles assessing UI, POP, FI and sexual dysfunction in a population of women with OC.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) affects 43,000 women worldwide every year and has a five-year survival rate of 30%. Mainstay treatment is extensive surgery and chemotherapy. Outcomes could be improved by molecular profiling.

Objective: The purpose of this review is to assess the preoperative management in case of recurrent cervical cancer, to assess patients for a surgical curative treatment.
Methods: English publications were searched using PubMed and Cochrane Library.
Results: In the purpose of curative surgery, pelvic exenteration required clear margins.
Objective: Pelvic exenteration requires complete resection of the tumor with negative margins to be considered a curative surgery. The purpose of this review is to assess the optimal preoperative evaluation and surgical approach in patients with recurrent cervical cancer to increase the chances of achieving a curative surgery with decreased morbidity and mortality in the era of concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: Review of English publications pertaining to cervical cancer within the last 25 years were included using PubMed and Cochrane Library searches.
