Pretreatment neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios as predictive factors for the survival of cervical adenocarcinoma patients.

Objective: Our study assessed the clinical utility and prognostic value of pretreatment hematological parameters and calculated coefficients including the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma (CA).

Materials And Methods: Among 738 cervical cancer patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages IA-IV treated at our institution, 96 (13%) presented with CA histology. The blood samples, collected within 10 days before treatment, were analyzed using a Sysmex XN-2000 system.

Adenocarcinoma histology is a poor prognostic factor in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to compare prognostic factors and survival between adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in locally advanced cervical cancer treated at a single center.

Methods: All medical records of cervical cancer patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB or IIIA,B, treated between 2004 and 2012, were reviewed. We treated patients with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by brachytherapy (BT).

Serous Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix, an Extremely Rare Aggressive Entity: A Literature Review.

Background/aims: Serous carcinoma of the uterine cervix (USCC) is an extremely rare subtype. To establish the treatment strategy in patients with USCC is an important issue.

Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed) was searched for all articles published after the first publication by Lurie et al.

Birth body length, birth body weight and birth head circumference in neonates born in a single centre between 2011 and 2016.

Objectives: Access to updated and accurate standards for local populations is important for the interpretation of body measurements in neonates and may have an impact on the doctor's recommendations for monitoring early childhood development.

Study Aim: to present individual mean values for the most prevalent body measurements (i.e.

[Therapeutic value of lymphadenectomy in ovarian cancer patients].

Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among the female genital malignancies. Its incidence is steadily increasing worldwide, especially in highly industrialized countries. Scarce and non-specific clinical symptoms in the early stages, and lack of effective screening methods, are the reasons why in the majority of cases the disease is diagnosed in advanced stage.

[Merkel cell carcinoma of the vulva - case report and the literature review].

Unlabelled: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant neoplasm, mostly affecting the skin (97% of cases). It is usually found in elderly people, in the sun-exposed areas of the skin. About 50-60% of MCC cases are located on the head and the neck, less often on the extremities and the torso, and extremely rarely in the genital area.

[Influence of tumor diameter on treatment results in cervical cancer patients].

Unlabelled: The impact of the tumor size on treatment outcomes in cervical cancer patients remains a subject of controversy

Objectives: The assessment of prognostic value of pretreatment tumor size in cervical cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: Patients of Maria Sklodowska - Curie Memorial Cancer Centre in Warsaw, treated between January 1996 and December 2000, were included into the retrospective study. 242 patients were diagnosed with a histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma and 42 with adenocarcinoma, FIGO staged IB-IVA, having undergone the clinical assessment and USG examination of the tumor treated with curative intent with surgery and/ or radiotherapy.

[Fertility-conserving therapy in cervical cancer patients].

Treatment of the cervical cancer patients, especially young women, is a very important clinical problem. This is related to the standard treatment methods, used in this malignancy and the treatment complications. In most patients, the oncological treatment, be it surgery or radiotherapy results in gonadal dysfunction with unavoidable loss of the ability to procreate.

Evaluation of intraoperative and postoperative complications related to lymphadenectomy in ovarian cancer patients.

Assessment of the regional lymph node status is an integral part of diagnostics for ovarian cancer patients. Due to the risk of complications, lymphadenectomy for ovarian cancer patients, as a routine treatment procedure, is still a subject of controversy. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the frequency and nature of intraoperative and postoperative complications in ovarian cancer patients treated with surgery.

[Prognostic value of histopathology in cervical cancer patients].

Unlabelled: Cervical cancer is the sixth cause of cancer morbidity and the seventh cause of cancer death among women in Poland. The rising tendency of cervical adenocarcinoma morbidity and the decrease of cervical squamous cell carcinoma have been observed. Many authors emphasize the worse outcome of cervical adenocarcinoma patients, when compared with the squamous cell cancer.

Early cervical cancer managed by laparoscopy and conventional surgery: comparison of treatment results.

Introduction: The goal of this retrospective analysis was to compare the results of treatment in patients with early cervical cancer managed by laparoscopy with those for patients observed after laparotomy.

Methods: The retrospective analysis was carried out with 22 patients operated on with total laparoscopic hysterectomy and 58 patients treated by abdominal hysterectomy. Patients with clinical tumor stage IA, IB1, or IIA were eligible for surgery.

[Recurrence risk analysis in patients treated for I clinical stage of endometrial cancer].

Introduction: The risk of endometrial cancer recurrence is estimated to be about 20%. In most cases, such situations are recognized in the first 3 years after the primary treatment. Early detection of such episodes leads to effective treatment.
