Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare epithelial malignancy of the appendix. If it perforates the abdominal cavity, it can cause a serious clinical syndrome called pseudomyxoma peritonei. In the present case, we laparoscopically removed a LAMN encountered during risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO).

Background: In April 2020, insurance coverage for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) for breast cancer patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome and BRCA testing were started in Japan. We investigated the impact of insurance coverage on the number of RRSO and BRCA tests performed.

Methods: The subjects were 370 breast cancer patients and 23 of their relatives who received genetic counseling at our institution between April 2014 and December 2021.

Aim: This study aims to examine the association between malignant peritoneal cytology and prognosis in women with endometrial cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with endometrial cancer who underwent surgery with intraoperative peritoneal cytology at our hospital between January 1988 and December 2012. All results were reclassified according to the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) system, and the relation between intraoperative peritoneal cytology results and recurrence and prognosis was examined.

Objective: Optimal debulking in interval debulking surgery (IDS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been reported as a prognostic factor for patients with ovarian cancer. However, the identification of microscopic residual disease (MRD) using visualization and palpation is subjective. Peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) during IDS is an easy-to-implement, objective approach for assessing disease status, although its clinical relevance and association with MRD is not known.

Recently, neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS) has been recommended for selected patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III or IV disease and bulky tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between post-NACT serum CA 125 levels, surgical outcomes, and clinical outcomes in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. We retrospectively analyzed 107 patients with FIGO stage III or IV ovarian cancer who were treated with NACT-IDS at the Gynecology Department of Kanagawa Cancer Center between January 2001 and December 2012.

Objective: This study aimed to validate the preoperative scoring system adopted in the Kanagawa Cancer Center (KCC) to stratify endometrial cancer patients for lymphadenectomy according to the risk of developing lymph node metastasis (LNM).

Methods: The records of 432 and 221 uterine cancer patients treated in the KCC and Yokohama City University (YCU), respectively, were retrospectively analyzed. The KCC classified patients for LNM risk based on tumor volume, myometrial invasion, histological grade, and serum CA125 levels, while YCU used only myometrial invasion.

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of definitive radiation therapy (RT) for invasive carcinoma of the vagina.

Methods: Twenty-six patients with invasive carcinoma of the vagina who received RT were studied retrospectively. The median age was 68 years.

Background: Adequate treatment for extremely advanced endometrial cancer is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the prognosis of patients with stage IVB endometrial carcinoma and the validity of treatment. Furthermore, we evaluated whether there was a connection between the prognosis and the site of metastasis.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of endometrial aspiration cytology for assessing malignant cells of extrauterine origin.

Study Design: Endometrial cytology was performed on 224 patients with primary ovarian cancer, 10 with fallopian tube cancer and 45 with peritoneal tumors.

Results: Of 224 patients with ovarian cancer, 53 (23.

Background: As the first-line chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer, the paclitaxel-carboplatin (TJ) regimen has replaced the cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, and cisplatin or carboplatin (CAP) regimen in our institutes since 1998. Both regimens were retrospectively compared for effectiveness and safety to verify the adequacy of the TJ regimen.

Methods: Women with epithelial ovarian cancer at FIGO stage Ic-IV were enrolled into the study and were assigned to either the CAP group (57 cases, from 1991 until 1998) or the TJ group (49 cases, from 1998 until 2002).

We present three cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that occurred in patients with gynecologic cancers. Case 1 and 2 had ovarian cancer and case 3 had endometrial cancer. The patients developed anxiety, difficulty in sleeping, and complaints of various discomforts after their diagnosis.

Objective: We assessed the antineoplastic effect and adverse reactions of paclitaxel monotherapy with paclitaxel 210 mg/m(2) given every 3 weeks by 3-h infusion on patients with endometrial cancer given as a 3-h infusion.

Methods: This study was a multi-center, open-label phase II clinical trial of paclitaxel 210 mg/m(2) given every 3 weeks by 3-h infusion. Patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer were enrolled.
