The Relationship Between Parametrial Involvement and Parametrial Tissue Removed in Radical Surgery in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer.

Background: The study aims to evaluate the effect of parametrial dimensions on the prognosis of cases who underwent type 3 radical hysterectomy or radical trachelectomy in early-stage cervical cancer (stage I - IIa).

Methods: Medical reports of patients with early-stage cervical cancer who have undergone surgery between 1998 and 2020 in Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Gynecological Oncology Clinic were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 292 cases were identified and included in the study.

Evaluation of elderly women with uterin cervical cancer.

Background: Uterine cervical cancer rates also increase with aging. Especially, the primary treatments of patients with cervical cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

Aim: Our aim is to discuss the effect of clinical and histopathological risk factors on survival in patients over 65 years old with invasive cervical cancer in the light of the literature.

Bevacizumab in recurrent ovarian cancer.

Purpose: The cost-effectiveness of bevacizumab has been the subject of debate, and we aimed to present our own retrospective data on its effect on survival in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Methods: Patients with recurrent ovarian, tubal and primary peritoneal cancer between October 2007 and June 2018 were grouped according to the platinum-free interval. The progression-free and overall survivals of the patients who had received chemotherapy only and chemotherapy with bevacizumab were calculated.

Solving an incomplete puzzle: risk factors of low back pain during pregnancy.

Objectives: Low back pain during pregnancy is a common disorder with an obscure etiopathogenesis. This study sought to investigate the association of low back pain by assessing various epidemiologic and clinical risk factors including weight changes, the presence of striae gravidarum, and intraperitoneal adhesions.

Material And Methods: A total of 250 pregnant women between 37 and 40 gestational weeks who were scheduled for cesarean section were included in this multicenter prospective trial.

Risk factors that increase recurrence in borderline ovarian cancers.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and pathological results of borderline ovarian tumor cases that were operated on in our clinic within the last 15 years and to investigate the factors affecting recurrence.

Materials And Methods: The archived files of the patients with borderline ovarian tumors, who had been operated on at the Akdeniz University Medical Faculty Gynecological Oncology Unit between 2006 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 48 cases were identified and included in the study.

Cholesterol granuloma mimicking ovarian cancer.

Cholesterol granuloma is a consequence of a chronic inflammatory reaction with accumulation of cholesterol crystals in the tissue. Ovarian cholesterol granuloma is rarely reported in the literature and can be misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer during surgery due to pelvic fibrosis and adhesion secondary to chronic inflammation, especially in postmenopausal women. We present a patient who had been referred to our gynecologic oncology clinic.

The insolvable problem; survival effect of lymphadenectomy in advanced stage ovarian cancer.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of systemic lymphadenectomy on overall and progression free survival in advanced stage of ovarian cancer.

Material And Methods: The data of ovarian cancer patients who had been admitted to our clinic between March 2008 and December 2019 were collected retrospectively. The patients who had received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), those having undergone interval surgery, those who had non-epithelial ovarian cancer, those with residual tumour larger than 1 cm and those with stage I-IIA were excluded from the study.

Encountering the accessory polar renal artery during retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.

Because of the accessory polar renal artery (APRA) is functional, it is extremely important to be careful with vascular injuries, to prevent ischemic damage and not to cause kidney failure complications.

The effect of age On cervical cancer screening in women aged 20-29.

No definite consensus exists currently regarding the appropriate age at which to start cervical cancer screening. We analyzed the effectiveness of age in abnormal histology outcomes in women aged 20-29. Data on women aged 20-29 having undergone opportunistic cervical cancer screening with cytology during the 2014-2019 period were retrospectively reviewed.

Uterine giant cell carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Cervical Carcinoma in a Renal Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.

A range of cancer types, at increased rates, is described in renal transplant recipients receiving immunosuppression. Aside from immunodeficiency, heightened medical surveillance for cancer, lifestyle, and other risk factors all play a role. Although the relation between cancer risk and degree of immunodeficiency might not be linear, and might be different for a wide range of cancer subtypes, human papillomavirus-related cancers in long-term transplant recipients may suggest the role of even modest immunosuppression, when present long enough.
