We aim to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of ovarian cancer in various regions and countries within this specific population.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study, which included adolescents with ovarian cancer aged 15 to 24 years in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.
Background: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a concern for patients with gynecologic cancer. This study aimed to assess left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation in patients with gynecologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy and to investigate the association between myocardial deformation and chemotherapy factors.
Methods: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed to assess LV deformation parameters using CMR tissue tracking based on cine images.
Objective: Postterm choriocarcinoma is rare and seldom reported. Patients with postterm choriocarcinoma have unfavorable outcomes. Thus, we conducted a retrospective study to better understand this disease.

Some EOC patients experience relapse after standard primary debulking surgery (PDS) and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). Identifying molecular residual disease (MRD) by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection can timely signal the potential for relapse.

Although it is no longer used in the treatment of many of these diseases, radiation therapy still plays a crucial role in the treatment of keloids, skin cancer and solid organ malignancies. In the past 20 years, the widespread use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy has significantly increased in the management of tumor growth in multiple cancer sites and reduced the incidence of complications in normal organs.

Nevertheless, there is currently a significant lack of comprehensive real-world pharmacovigilance studies on the ADEs associated with Abraxane.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of ADEs associated with Abraxane using data mining from the FAERS database, analyzing data from 2005 to 2023.
Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab is the first-line treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC), and the treatment options are limited for r/mCC after first-line treatment. Enlonstobart (SG001) is a fully humanized and high-affinity anti-PD-1 immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody. Previous phase Ib study demonstrated that SG001 had a promising efficacy in patients with PD-L1 positive r/mCC.

Genetic counseling is crucial for the prevention and treatment of LS, as individuals with these mutations have an increased lifetime risk of developing multiple cancers. MutS Homolog 2 () is a protein-coding gene that plays a key role in LS.

Methods: This multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (ChiCTR2000038555) evaluates the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel liposome in comparison to the standard regimen of paclitaxel combined with carboplatin (PLC vs. PC) as first-line therapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Immunotherapy stands as a critical and auspicious therapeutic approach in the fight against cancer nowadays. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, in particular, have garnered widespread employment and delivered groundbreaking therapeutic outcomes across various malignancies. However, the efficacy is unsatisfactory in the ovarian cancer.

Nevertheless, its functional implications in cervical cancer (CC) remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of RNF113A in both the development and prognosis of CC.

Prognosis for advanced cases, especially International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) III-IV, is poor. Standard care includes surgical resection and platinum-based chemo, but 70-80% face recurrence and chemoresistance.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: To examine the associated risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasm grade 3+ (CIN3+) lesions in patients with AGC and extensive human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping.
Methods: Cases with atypical glandular cell (AGC) interpretation on a Papanicolaou (Pap) test were identified along with associated extensive HPV genotyping and histologic follow-up results.
Results: Within this cohort of 469,694 Pap tests, 0.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis of cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCCC) in patients not exposed to diethylstilbestrol .
Methods: The patients diagnosed with CCCC at West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2011 and Jun 2023 were enrolled for this retrospective study. The clinical characteristics and information on treatment and follow-up were collected.
Primary malignant melanoma (MM) arising from the cervix is an exceedingly rare occurrence, and patients diagnosed with this condition often face a dismal clinical prognosis. Here, we present a case study of a postmenopausal woman presenting with vaginal bleeding and a conspicuous 5-centimeter black mass on the cervix. Based on the staging criteria established by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, she was diagnosed with stage IIB primary cervical MM.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWEE1 kinase is involved in the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint control and DNA damage repair. A functional G2/M checkpoint is crucial for DNA repair in cancer cells with p53 mutations since they lack a functional G1/S checkpoint. Targeted inhibition of WEE1 kinase may cause tumor cell apoptosis, primarily, in the p53-deficient tumor, via bypassing the G2/M checkpoint without properly repairing DNA damage, resulting in genome instability and chromosomal deletion.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: The association between mutations in susceptibility genes and the occurrence of ovarian cancer has been extensively studied. Previous research has primarily concentrated on genes involved in the homologous recombination repair pathway, particularly and . However, a wider range of genes related to the DNA damage response pathways has not been fully explored.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Despite extensive literature on therapeutic strategies for cervical cancer, a bibliometric analysis specifically focused on immunotherapy for advanced, recurrent, or metastatic (A/R/M) cervical malignancies remains unexplored. This study aims to address this gap by presenting a comprehensive overview that includes general characteristics, research focal points, the trajectory of evolution, and current emerging trends in this under-researched area.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) to identify articles related to A/R/M cervical cancer published between 2000 and 2022.
