Ovarian metastasis from pancreatic ductal carcinoma.

A clinical case is presented about a rare presentation of pancreatic cancer. Firstly, pancreatic cancer rarely metastasizes to the ovary, and when it does, it usually presents in the form of peritoneal carcinomatosis and bilateral involvement. However, the initial radiological diagnosis was primary pancreatic carcinoma with a synchronous primary ovarian carcinoma.

Prognostic factors in young women with epithelial ovarian cancer: the Young Ovarian Cancer-Care (YOC-Care) study.

Objective: To determine oncological outcomes and to identify prognostic factors in women aged <45 years with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was performed of patients treated for epithelial ovarian cancer aged <45 years between January 2010 and December 2019.

Results: A total of 998 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer from 55 different institutions in Spain were collected.

Endometrial cancer: predictors and oncological safety of tumor tissue manipulation.

Purpose: The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of tumor manipulation on the presence of lympho-vascular space invasion and its influence on oncological results.

Methods: We performed a retrospective multi-centric study amongst patients who had received primary surgical treatment for apparently early-stage endometrial cancer. A multivariate statistical analysis model was designed to assess the impact that tumor manipulation (with the use of uterine manipulator or preoperative hysteroscopy) has on lympho-vascular development (LVSI) in the final surgical specimen.

Lymphovascular Space Invasion in Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer (LySEC): Patterns of Recurrence and Predictors. A Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study of the Spain Gynecologic Oncology Group.

The main aim is to compare oncological outcomes and patterns of recurrence of patients with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer according to lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) status. The secondary objective is to determine preoperative predictors of LVSI. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Rationalisation of the caesarean section rate in a tertiary referral hospital using the Robson classification.

The aim of this study was to implement the Robson Ten Groups Classification System (RTGCS) to identify the main contributors to the caesarean section (CS) rate and to evaluate whether the introduction of a plan of obstetrical interventions reduced this rate. An observational retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted during two time periods at Alicante University General Hospital. In the pre-implementation period (2009-2012), RTGCS was applied to identify the main groups contributing to the overall CS rate.

Primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma. A case report and literature review.

Primary peritoneal malignant tumors are exceptional. Among them, clear cell carcinoma is extremely rare, being only thirteen cases previously reported in the literature since 1990. We report a case of a 48-year-old Caucasian woman who was treated at the University General Hospital of Alicante.

Does the Type of Surgical Approach and the Use of Uterine Manipulators Influence the Disease-Free Survival and Recurrence Rates in Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer?

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term safety, disease-free survival, and recurrence rate of total laparoscopic hysterectomy using uterine manipulator and abdominal hysterectomy in the surgical treatment in early-stage endometrial cancer.

Study Design: This was a cohort study of 147 patients with clinical endometrial cancer (laparoscopic surgery group, 77 women; laparotomy group, 70 women). Data were evaluated and analyzed by intention-to-treat principle, and survival data of stage I endometrial cancer (129 patients; 66 from laparoscopic surgery group and 60 from laparotomy group) were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier curves.
