Research Question: Do IVF treatments after conservative management of endometrial atypical hyperplasia or grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma (AH/EC) increase the risk of disease recurrence?
Design: This is a prospective cohort study from a national registry from January 2008 to July 2019. Sixty patients had an AH/EC and received progestin treatment using chlormadinone acetate for at least 3 months. After remission, 31 patients underwent IVF and 29 did not.
Introduction: Quality of care is an emerging concern, notably in oncology. The aim of the present study was to identify the sociodemographic factors influencing the quality of care in the USA concerning the surgical management of endometrial cancer (EC) through the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database using already published Belgian quality indicators (QI).
Methods: Using the SEER database 1988-2013, we identified 151,752 patients treated for EC.
Objective: Ovarian failure is a common effect of treatment for cancer. The aim of this study was to describe the practices concerning ovarian protection and fertility preservation in young women treated for cancer.
Study Design: Women between 15 and 49 years old diagnosed with cancer between 2005 and 2014 were studied, abstracted from a representative French National Healthcare database.
Background: Endometrial cancer and atypical hyperplasia are rare in young women but create a dilemma between desire for pregnancy and oncologic outcomes.
Objective: To identify remission rates and associated prognostic factors in patients undergoing fertility-sparing management for endometrial cancer and atypical hyperplasia.
Search Strategy: MEDLINE was searched for studies published between January 1, 1950 and July 31, 2017 using various search terms.
Background/aim: Recommendations for endometrial cancer (EC) follow-up after treatment include regular clinical examinations without further systematic investigation. The objectives of our study were to examine adherence to follow-up guidelines in patients who underwent surgery for EC and identify associated variables.
Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for EC between 2005 and 2014 were identified among the Echantillon Généraliste des Bénéficiaires.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate 36 quality indicators (QIs) for monitoring the quality of care of uterine cancer to be implemented in the EFFECT (effectiveness of endometrial cancer treatment) project.
Methods: The 36 QIs were evaluated in the first 10 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer and managed in 14 French hospitals in 2011. To assess the status of each QI, a questionnaire detailing the 36 QIs was sent to each hospital, and the information was cross-checked with information from the multidisciplinary staff meeting, surgical reports, and pathological reports.
Background: No data are available to establish whether operative hysteroscopy is superior to standard pipelle sampling to determine histological and grade status in endometrial cancer (EC). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether pipelle device sampling or operative hysteroscopy had an impact on preoperative determination of histological and grade status in EC and consequently on surgical management.
Methods: Data of 224 women with EC receiving primary surgical treatment between 2002 and 2014 were abstracted from a single institution with maintained database.
Background: In cases of stage 2 endometrial cancers (ECs), a radical hysterectomy is recommended; however, its benefits are poorly documented.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether a primary radical hysterectomy improves specific and overall survival compared with a simple hysterectomy in stage 2 EC.
Methods: Data from all women with type 1 EC and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage 2 who underwent surgical treatment between January 1998 and December 2012 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
