Diagnostic performance of a faecal immunochemical test for patients with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer in primary care: an evaluation in the South West of England.

Background: The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) was introduced to triage patients with low-risk symptoms of possible colorectal cancer in English primary care in 2017, underpinned by little primary care evidence.

Methods: All healthcare providers in the South West of England (population 4 million) participated in this evaluation. 3890 patients aged ≥50 years presenting in primary care with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer had a FIT from 01/06/2018 to 31/12/2018.

Relationship between endometriosis, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, gliomatosis peritonei, and carcinoid tumor in a patient with recurrent ovarian teratoma.

Gliomatosis peritonei (GP) describes the implantation of mature neuroglial tissue in the peritoneum and is usually associated with mature ovarian teratoma but is also found in cases of immature teratoma. We report the case of a patient with recurrent mature ovarian teratoma, GP, endometriosis (with malignant transformation), and carcinoid tumor, found at the time of hysterectomy for a primary endometrial adenocarcinoma. This unusual combination of tumor types has not been reported earlier.

Obstetric management following fertility-sparing radical vaginal trachelectomy for cervical cancer.

Radical vaginal trachelectomy now affords a fertility-sparing procedure for the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer in young women. Subsequent obstetric management within this group of women remains a challenge to the obstetrician, with risks of premature labour a continuing probability throughout pregnancy. Here we describe four cases of successful pregnancy following radical vaginal trachelectomy within our unit.

Successful pregnancy following radical trachelectomy and in vitro fertilisation with ovum donation.

This is the first known documented case of a successful pregnancy following fertility-preserving radical trachelectomy, ovum donation and in vitro fertilisation.
