Clinical Profile and Survival Outcome of Endometrial Cancer with p53 Mutation.

Clinicopathologic classification of endometrial cancer imperfectly reflects the tumor biology. Pathologic categorization - especially in high-grade tumors - results in an imprecise estimation of the risk of disease, recurrence, and death. Molecular subtyping is emerging as the standard of care in diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancers.

Epithelial ovarian cancer: Review article.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the second commonest cause of death amongst all gynaecological cancers. Treatment is challenging because almost 75% of cases are diagnosed in advanced stages. Front line treatment with aggressive cytoreduction and adjuvant treatment decides the outcome.

Role of laparoscopy in predicting surgical outcomes in patients undergoing interval cytoreduction surgery for advanced ovarian carcinoma: A prospective validation study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy in detecting inoperable disease in patients undergoing interval cytoreduction (ICR) for advanced ovarian carcinoma (AOC). The primary outcome measured was the performance of laparoscopy-based predictive index value (PIV) score developed by Fagotti et al. The secondary outcomes measured were performance of individual parameters included in PIV score and optimal cytoreduction (OCR) rates in our population.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Vulva-11 Years' Single-Institution Experience.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of vulva (ACC-vulva) is an extremely rare entity with <100 cases reported in the literature so far.

Objective: To study the clinical profile and outcome of ACC-vulva treated at a tertiary cancer care centre in South India.

Methods: This is a retrospective, record-based study of histopathologically confirmed cases of ACC-vulva treated at our centre from January 2005 to March 2016.

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease of Vulva-a Case Report.

Extra mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare condition involving the vulva, anogenital region, and axilla. Vulvar disease usually presents as a slow growing well-defined itchy plaque with crustations or ulcerations over the affected area in postmenopausal women. Well-established guidelines for diagnosis and management are not available for this rare condition.

Detection of cervical lesions by multivariate analysis of diffuse reflectance spectra: a clinical study.

Diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy is a non-invasive, real-time, and cost-effective tool for early detection of malignant changes in squamous epithelial tissues. The present study aims to evaluate the diagnostic power of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for non-invasive discrimination of cervical lesions in vivo. A clinical trial was carried out on 48 sites in 34 patients by recording DR spectra using a point-monitoring device with white light illumination.

Role of frozen section in intraoperative assessment of ovarian masses: a tertiary oncology center experience.

Surgical management of ovarian lesions vary considerably depending on the nature of the lesion. As the preoperative imaging and serum tumor marker levels are of limited value in the proper categorization of ovarian lesions, intraoperative pathological assessment is commonly requested for a primary diagnosis. Aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of the frozen section in the diagnosis of ovarian masses in our center and to analyze the causes of diagnostic discrepancies.

Secondary cytoreduction in epithelial ovarian cancer recurrence: a perspective from a regional cancer center in India.

Objective: To assess the impact of secondary cytoreduction on survival in our patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Study Design: Between January 2001 and December 2006 all patients who underwent surgical resection of documented epithelial ovarian cancer recurrence were identified from the hospital tumor registry database. Criteria for inclusion were disease-free interval >6 months after completion of primary treatment with clinical and/or radiographic findings suggestive of recurrence.

Effectiveness and safety of loop electrosurgical excision procedure in a low-resource setting.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in a low-resource setting.

Methods: Women participating in a cervical screening study in India with histologically confirmed CIN unsuitable for cryotherapy were advised to undergo LEEP. One year after treatment the cervix was visually inspected with acetic acid, followed by colposcopy and biopsy taken from abnormal areas.
