- - This study (BZK40+) investigated the effectiveness and safety of a spermicide containing benzalkonium chloride in women aged 40 and above, aiming to assess its contraceptive efficacy over 12 months.
- - A total of 151 women participated, with a high retention rate; 95.4% completed the initial 6-month phase, and 41.7% opted to continue for another 6 months, applying the spermicide in 96.3% of their sexual encounters.
- - Remarkably, the study reported a Pearl Index of 0 pregnancies during the 12-month period, indicating effective contraception, but the authors suggest caution in interpreting these results due to the usual lower efficacy of spermicides
Background: Lymphadenectomy is part of cytoreductive surgery for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) in case of abnormal lymph nodes before and during surgery. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pre-operative radiological score to predict pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with AEOC undergoing cytoreductive surgery.
