Determination of endometrial cancer molecular subtypes using a whole exome-sequencing based single-method approach.

Aim: Endometrial cancer (EC) is heterogeneous with respect to epidemiology, clinical course, histopathology and tumor biology. Recently, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) network has identified four molecular subtypes with distinct clinical courses by an integrated multi-omics approach. These subtypes are of critical importance in the clinical management of EC.

Pentaerythrityl tetranitrate improves the outcome of children born to mothers with compromised uterine perfusion-12-months follow-up and safety data of the double-blind randomized PETN trial.

Background: This is a follow-up study to the pentaerythrityl tetranitrate randomized controlled multicenter trial that reports neonatal outcome data of newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units and outcome data of the offspring at 12 months of age.

Objective: We present data on adverse events reported during the study to document the safety of pentaerythrityl tetranitrate treatment during pregnancy. To further evaluate the effects of pentaerythrityl tetranitrate on neonatal and long-term outcomes, we present follow up data from of 240 children at 12 months of age, including information on height, weight, head circumference, developmental milestones, and the presence of chronic disease and of 144 newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit during the trial.

Immune Profiling of Vulvar Squamous Cell Cancer Discovers a Macrophage-rich Subtype Associated with Poor Prognosis.

Unlabelled: The incidence rates of vulvar squamous cell cancer (VSCC) have increased over the past decades, requiring personalized oncologic approaches. Currently, lymph node involvement is a key factor in determining prognosis and treatment options. However, there is a need for additional immune-related biomarkers to provide more precise treatment and prognostic information.

Intraoperative Utilization of Indocyanine Green (ICG) Dye for the Assessment of Ovarian Perfusion-Case Report and Review of the Literature.

The assessment of ovarian perfusion after detorsion is crucial in the surgical management of patients with ovarian torsion. In current routine clinical practice, the surgical decision (preservation of the ovary versus oophorectomy) is based on the subjective impression of the surgeon. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography has been shown to sufficiently reflect tissue perfusion with a potential impact on the surgical procedure.

TROP-2 is widely expressed in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and represents a potential new therapeutic target.

Purpose: Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a rare malignancy of the female genital tract with increasing incidence rates. Etiologically, HPV-dependent and HPV-independent VSCC are distinguished. Surgical treatment and/or radiotherapy represent the therapeutic mainstay for localized disease.
