Expression of B7-H4 in endometrial cancer and its impact on patients' prognosis.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the B7-H4 expression in endometrial cancer cells and to investigate its relationship with patient prognosis and clinicopathological features of the disease.

Material And Methods: We performed a single-center, retrospective cohort study that included endometrial cancer patients treated between 2012 and 2019. B7-H4 expression in specimens obtained from 63 patients was examined by immunohistochemical staining.

The impact of splenectomy and diaphragmatic surgery on perioperative morbidity and overall survival of ovarian cancer patients.

Objectives: The prognosis of ovarian cancer (OC), among other factors, depends on residual disease after primary debulking surgery (PDS) and initial disease advancement. The main aim of our study was to evaluate the survival benefits of splenectomy and diaphragmatic surgery in OC patients, when the procedures result in resection to no macroscopic residual disease or minimal residual disease [tumor nodules below 2.5 mm according to Sugarbaker's completeness of cytoreduction score (CC) = 1].

An analysis of the significance of the lymph node ratio and extracapsular involvement in the prognosis of endometrial cancer patients.

Introduction: The primary aim of our study was to analyse the impact of the lymph node ratio (LNR) and extracapsular involvement (ECI) on the prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC) patients.

Material And Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of 886 patients surgically treated for EC between 2000 and 2015. In the subgroup of patients with lymph node metastases (LNM), we evaluated the impact of the number and localization of the LNM, LNR, and ECI on patients' overall survival (OS).

Total Colectomy as a Part of Ultra-Radical Surgery for Ovarian Cancer-Short- and Long-Term Outcomes.

(1) Background: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes for patients who underwent total colectomy (TC) as a part of surgery for ovarian cancer (OC). (2) Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1636 OC patients. Residual disease (RD) was reported using Sugarbaker's completeness of cytoreduction score.
