Determination of the necessary total protein substitution requirements in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer and ascites, undergoing debulking surgery. Correlation with plasma proteins.

Background: Ascites is common in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma (AOC). Its drainage during surgery affects plasma proteins. We sought to correlate the volume of ascites with the oncological parameters of the disease, calculate its drainage effect on plasma proteins, and determine the necessary substitution requirements and a clinical way of achieving that.

Late diagnosis of a neglected cervical carcinoma in an elderly woman: a case report.

We report the case of an 88-year-old, Greek patient who was referred to our department with a bleeding mass that occupied her entire vagina. This exophytic tumor had extensive ulcerated areas and originated from the cervix. The biopsies taken from the mass confirmed it to be squamous cell carcinoma.
