PET Parameters are Useful in Predicting Endometrial Cancer Risk Classes and Prognosis.

Aim:  We investigate the role of preoperative PET parameters to determine risk classes and prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC).

Methods:  We enrolled 81 patients with EC who underwent preoperative F-18 FDG PET/CT. PET parameters (SUV, SUV, MTV, TLG), grade, histology and size of the primary tumor, stage of the disease, the degree of myometrial invasion (MI), and the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), cervical invasion (CI), distant metastasis (DM) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) were recorded.

The value of uterine artery Doppler and NT-proBNP levels in the second trimester to predict preeclampsia.

Objective: To determine the maternal serum N-Terminal proBNP levels in predicting development of preeclampsia.

Method: Sixty-eight patients were included in the study. The study group consisted of patients with the finding of diastolic notch with abnormal pulsatility index (PI) between 21-24 weeks gestation and the control group consisted of patients without diastolic notch and normal PI.

Lack of influence of pregnancy on the prognosis of survivors of thyroid cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of pregnancy on prognosis of thyroid cancer.

Methods: A total of 72 patients aged between 15-45 years who underwent total or subtotal thyroidectomy and subsequently radioablation were followed up under suppression. Individuals who had term pregnancies after diagnosis of cancer (group 1, n: 36) and who were non-pregnant (group 2, n:36) were included in the study.
