Patterns and predictors of site-specific recurrence in cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy.

Aim: This study examines patterns and predictors of site-specific recurrence to explore the causes of local recurrence of cervical cancer.

Methods: Radical hysterectomy was performed in 121 patients (stage IB-IIB). Nerve-sparing was performed whenever possible.

Usefulness of PET/CT for early detection of internal malignancies in patients with Muir-Torre syndrome: report of two cases.

Background: Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in mismatch repair genes. It is characterized by the presence of at least one sebaceous skin tumor associated with internal malignancies. Whether positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is useful for the detection of malignancies in patients with MTS has not been determined.
