Measuring health-related quality of life in cervical cancer patients: a systematic review of the most used questionnaires and their validity.

Background: Data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is paramount for shared and evidence based decision-making. Since an overview of cervical cancer HRQoL tools and their validity appears to be lacking, we performed a systematic review on usage of disease specific HRQoL instruments in cervical cancer patients and their psychometric properties to identify the most suitable cervical cancer specific HRQoL tool.

Methods: We searched Pubmed, EMBASE and PsycINFO from inception up to 18 October 2016 for studies on quality of life in cervical cancer patients.

Atypical Endometrial Polyps and Concurrent Endometrial Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To estimate the risk of concurrent endometrial cancer in nonpolypoid endometrium when atypia was diagnosed within an endometrial polyp.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies published between 1990 and January 2015 in which 1) women with atypical hyperplastic endometrial polyps underwent a consecutive hysterectomy; or 2) the natural behavior of endometrium with concurrent atypical endometrial polyps was evaluated.
