Loss of p16 in recurrent malignant mixed müllerian tumors of the uterus.

Uterine malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMTs) are rare and highly aggressive malignancies with poor clinical prognoses. We examined for differences in the oncoprotein profiles of primary versus recurrent MMMTs. Five cases of recurrent uterine MMMT were examined by paraffin immunohistochemistry for the expression of p53, p16, P-cadherin, and Cerb-B2.

Association between subjective sleep quality and depression on immunocompetence in low-income women at risk for cervical cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether subjective sleep quality is more strongly associated with immunocompetence than depression among women at risk for cervical cancer.

Lack of acute toxicity associated with a multimodality treatment of stage III ovarian epithelial carcinoma.

Eleven patients with advanced stage III ovarian epithelial carcinoma were treated primarily according to an aggressive multimodality plan utilizing cytoreductive surgery, chemotherapy (high-dose cisplatin and Cytoxan), and consolidative radiation therapy (abdominopelvic "bath" plus pelvic boost). The treatment was tolerated remarkably well. There was no evidence of progressive disease during treatment, and all patients showed a positive response.
