Objective: A phase II study was conducted to determine the efficacy of oxaliplatin therapy in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who had received one prior platinum therapy.
Methods: Eligible patients were to have measurable disease and one prior chemotherapy regimen which could include cisplatin or carboplatin. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 was administered intravenously over 2 h.
Background: Sarcomas comprise less than 1% of all gynecological cancers and 2% to 5% of all uterine malignancies, of which endometrial stromal sarcoma accounts for approximately 15%. Surgery is fundamental in sarcoma management and a total hysterectomy is performed in the majority of cases.
Case: Presented is a case of low-grade myxoid endometrial stromal sarcoma in a nulliparous adolescent female managed by local resection and uterine reconstruction.

Methods: A retrospective review over 3 years identified 20 women who were treated with single-agent intravenous PLD for recurrent ovarian carcinoma. During PLD infusion, patients kept ice packs around their wrists and ankles, and consumed iced liquids.
Background: Didelphic uterus results from incomplete fusion of the müllerian ducts.
Cases: In 2 cases, endometrial adenocarcinoma arose in 1 horn of a didelphic uterus.
Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of müllerian anomalies, which may go undetected, resulting in diagnostic delay.
Background: Ovarian transposition is the anatomical relocation of the ovaries from the pelvis to the abdomen. Transposition is beneficial in women who are to undergo pelvic radiation, because it allows maintenance of ovarian function and preservation of assisted reproductive capacity.
Methods: The da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountainview, CA, USA) was used to perform an endoscopic ovarian transposition.
